…the Pound Cake reigns from the 18th century and hails from Northern Europe

So, if you’re wondering like I am, where did the term Pound Cake come from? According to Wikipedia, the Pound Cake reigns from the 18th century and hails from Northern Europe. The term pound signifies that early recipes called for a pound of butter, flour, sugar, and eggs. Interestingly enough, today’s recipe uses a much lower quantity of ingredients but can be made by adjusting the ingredients as in the 1700’s.

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 tsp baking powder

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees and grease/flour a bundt baking pan
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl and mix on low to combine.
3. Combine eggs, extract, orange juice, and oil together in a separate bowl.
4. Whisk liquid mixture to combine.
5. Pour liquid mixture into flour mixture and mix on low until all ingredients are well moistened and combined. Do not overmix – total mixing time should be less than 3 minutes.
