Anon pounds. This is also just about the best reason to buy a stand mixer, so you can pound them cakes whenever you want with minimal effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ekZEVeXwek

Oh shit, I just remembered a recipe for sticky toffee pudding I once saw, you baked a ginger pound cake then when it was almost done, you poked holes in it and poured some heavy cream mixed with brown sugar in it and baked it until it was sticky toffee pudding.

The name comes from the traditional recipe (1lb flour, 1lb butter, 1lb sugar, 1lb eggs) not the weight of the cake at the end.

Which recipes freeze really well? It's nice to have a second dish to bring to a potluck that you can make earlier in the week.

>stand mixer,
It's not really a celebration cake. It's more of an occasional treat to serve, like cookies.

Look at my neck, I got a carrot cake
Now here's the icing on the cake
Cake, cake cake, cake cake

You guys know the MLM pyramid scheme food company Tastefully Simple? Whenever there is a flea market or I meet a boomer that sells the shit I always get the almond pound cake. It's the best pound cake I've ever had, it's just so moist and has an almond flavor unlike anything I've ever tasted or been able to replicate. It's just the best

the level of american obsession on this board is incel tier

>>13656588
Weight and density are 2 different things. Just because something is wet it doesn't necessarily mean it's more dense. It's still a light cake, it's just soaked in a liquid.

>sad fat ameri-pig tries to cope by playing the victim
go eat a cheeseburger, fatty. Maybe marginalize some blacks or gays on your way to the McPiggies while you're at it!

>>13660641
I would consider it more dense than wet imo. The stuff you soak it in is pretty thick

Pound Cake is the result of Ms. Cake cheating on Mr. Cake, and he is a cuck. So no thank you.

this guy knows what he's doing
