Many years ago in pound cake every single thing actually did weigh a pound, a pound of milk, a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, a pound of flour and so on so forth but it was modified afterwards just so it is a dense and heavy cake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes it does!. Infact it is a rich dense yellow cake that is traditionally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, flour, and eggs, or with equal weights of each of these ingredients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I just made one this afternoon and it called for two cups of brown sugar and a half cup of white sugar!. So yes, they do usually call for at least a pound of sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
