Vanilla Pound Cake

Vanilla Pound Cake / Karen E. Photography (p)

“Pound Cake makes me think of the English pound sterling. Its strength against the South African rand makes a trip to the UK very expensive... But, back to the recipe which com­prises a pound each of butter, flour, eggs and sugar - actually equal quantities will do just as well. I remember often having this at my grandparents’ homes. It’s so versatile - any flavouring can be added to reinvent the very plain, traditional cake.”
