Today (March 4th) is National Pound Cake Day. The term “Pound Cake” comes from the original 18th Century recipe for the cake, which consists of one pound each of butter, sugar, flour and eggs.

While most pound cakes today start with these basic ingredients, they are anything but traditional. Check out the following variations. And don’t worry if you like your pound cake the old fashioned way… we’ve thrown in a couple of tried and true recipes as well!
