The lemon pound cake sounds delightful! Have you ever thought about the name �pound cake� and wondered where it comes from? Does it mean a pound cake weighs exactly one pound, or perhaps you gain a pound when you eat one? No, thank goodness! Actually, the first recipes for pound cake called for one pound each of sugar, flour, butter, and eggs. A recipe like this was very easy to remember � something very important way back in the 1700s when few people could actually read! At that time, recipes were passed down from generation to generation rather than recorded in writing. So, as you can imagine, a cake made of one pound of each major ingredient could be a very hefty cake indeed! It could feed an entire family, and perhaps more, which was another very important quality back in those days - food was scarce and pound cakes were literally worth their weight in gold! As centuries went by, the pound cake kept its name but the recipe morphed and transformed into the one we're much more familiar with today. The ingredients are now measured by quantity rather than weight, and the weight is much less than it used to be! The cakes themselves are lighter and fluffier and a little easier on our waistlines. But they still have the same wonderful and delicious taste.

You can have many different types of pound cake too. There is of course the lemon pound cake, then there is just a plain one. You can also make a strawberry pound cake, or even a chocolate pound cake. You can pretty much add any fruit and the pound cake would taste great! This lemon one would be especially great for summer time! So try it out soon! Want the full recipe for Easy Lemon Pound Cake with Lemon Icing?
