Pound cake

Although I was skeptical about the success and taste of this cake due to its high butter content and little ingredients, it turned out very nice and just as perfect as the different recipes described it. While it may be a dense cake, it is very smooth in texture and has a distinct buttery flavor. While most recipes don't use baking powder I prefer to use 2 tsp as I don't like cakes that don't rise well. You can also add chopped dried fruits, chocolate chips or nuts to the cake by adding them with the flour before it is combined with the butter.
