    I think the whole point of a pound cake is that it is a lb of each ingredient. So it should be a pound cake if you cream a lb of sugar with a lb of butter and then add a lb of flour and a lb of eggs.

    Hope this makes sense! X

    Pound cake originally started out like that, but like all good recipes, it has been changed and adapted along the way. I have tried this one from The Independent A handy hint if you are googling for a recipe in UK measurements, is to google the name of the item, recipe and UK, you're g/teed to find a UK site with the recipe you are looking for :)

    weigh your eggs, I've made this a few times and like it a lot.
    There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
