	Pound Cake: Baking 101 - Uncle Gary's Poundcake
		This results in a large, dense cake not often suited to modern American tastes, though the style (if not the size) is still popular in Britain.
		American pound cakes are lighter, but often contain an abundance of butter, to provide a rich taste, and are extremely popular in the Southeastern United States.
		A traditional British Pound Cake recipe would specify one pound each of flour, butter, eggs (8 eggs), sugar, and several kinds of dried fruit (currants, sultanas, and raisins, with perhaps a lesser quantity of glacé cherries).

	Pound Cake Recipe & Photo - Joyofbaking.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The name 'pound' was given to this cake because the original recipes contained one pound each of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs.
		This produced a very rich tasting cake but it was also heavy in texture for there were no artificial leaveners at the time and the batter had to be beaten by hand as there were no electric mixers.
		Today, pound cakes are still rich and buttery but they have a finer grain as we now often use an artificial leavener (baking powder and/or soda) and we can incorporate lots of air into the batter (by using an electric mixer).

	Compote perks up pound cake - The Boston Globe
		Pound cake, not surprisingly, derives its name from the original recipe, which called for a pound each of butter, sugar, flour, and eggs.
		Thick slices of his cake, which is moist with a little bite from the cornmeal, are served with a compote of dried fruits macerated in white wine and maple syrup.
		The cake is splendid on its own, says Leviton, but "what really kicks it over the edge is the fruit compote." You wouldn't think there was anything exciting about prunes, raisins, cherries, and apricots in syrup, but this maple mixture, flavored with vanilla bean and lemon, makes the ideal tangy topping for the orange-flavored cake.
