Hot and Heavy: 20 Gluttonous Pound Cakes
Around these parts, we believe in cakes — birthday cakes, layer cakes, ice cream cakes, and yes, cupcakes. We are especially beholden, though, to the pound cake, who always tells it like it is (see: “pound”) and never ever puts on airs. Just stir the batter in a big bowl, pour it into a simple loaf pan, and — voilá — CAKE, at your service. What we’re trying to say is… we want that cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake. Here are 20 of our favorite recipes!
