Pound Cake I’ve always called this a pound cake. According to my mother’s recipe notes, though, it was my Aunt Mildred’s “plain cake.” Maybe she used that name because she never glazed or frosted ...

This plain cake is amazingly quick and simple to cook. It takes just 1 minute to mix and about 15 minutes to bake. This is a good cake to make with kids or those with little expertise in cake making.
