Who knew!  I didn't even know what pound cake was until I found out there was a day for it! 

The traditional recipe for pound cake makes a cake much larger than most families can consume, as it calls for a pound each of flour, butter, eggs and sugar.  Hence the name Pound Cake.

I decided to take just one ingredient from the recipe and make a photo of it.  I always have eggs in my kitchen and they get used regularly in a lot of my cooking.

Do you have a favorite cake and if so what is the recipe ingredient you want to photograph today?
