Pumpkin Pound Cake: A Cozy Autumn Delight
The pound cake has roots going back to 18th-century Europe and America. Originally, a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour yielded a massive, dense cake meant to serve big families. Over time, bakers adapted it, adding flavorings like citrus zest, chocolate, or—fitting for autumn—pumpkin.
