Original Pound Cake from 1700's England image

My mother made this recipe or some variation of it for over 60yrs. once a week. When I was in college my weekly "care package" always included this cake. In her letter she always included the same note:"be sure to share, I don't want you wearing these pounds home." I made a lot of friends from this treasure. Don't forget to have a "toasted pound" for breakfast. ummm! 1#butter, 1#flour, 1#sugar, reason for name. If recipe has mace in it, count on it coming from Low Country in S.C.

GRANDMA'S ORIGINAL POUND CAKE

Grandma's Original Pound Cake image

After resurrecting this recipe when Mom almost lost it, it's a long-time family favorite. Similar to many "old time" recipes but with many fewer eggs and separating and folding in the egg whites to lighten the texture. But this is NOT a dry cake, and so full of flavor it can stand alone on the plate! ENJOY!

Generously grease your pan(s). I used a 4"-deep, 9" round cake pan, but two smaller tins would work. (Just don’t fill the tin(s) more than 3/4 of the way full – this beast of a cake/bread needs ample room to rise!)
