Now, pound cake may just be my favorite type of cake (but after making the fudge cake from More Food, that may be my favorite cake!) so I had to try this recipe first. My first one was awesome. A nice dense yet moist cake. Buttery too. Yeah this cake was a keeper. When I first made it my Mom told me it would be very good with strawberries. Nice hint.Well, I never made it for strawberries. Just for plain ol' eating.
My friend J asked me last week if I make pound cakes. She was looking for a new recipe to make for her husband's birthday. I immediately told her about AB's. I gave her a copy of it and while she was telling me it was much simpler that her typical pound cake recipe, I got the urge to make one too.
And by happenstance, I saw strawberries at the megamart earlier in the week. Perfect.
The pound cake is a wonderfully simple recipe. Butter, flour, leavening, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Not much, but oh so yummy.
Yeah, I just love I'm Just Here for More Food!

After making my cold oven pound cake for so many years, it's hard for me to try another. Mine is soft, moist and not dense. It's the old "lost" recipe that doesn't contain any leavening.
But... AB's does look good!
WHOAAATT??!!! There is actually a blog dedicated to AB?!!! Way cool!!! I adore AB and his weird, strange, geeky, funny way of cooking/ baking! I wish I have found out about this blog many many months ago! I definitely have to try out this recipe since I recently baked a pound cake from someone's else recipe and it didn't turn out too well, At All!
Thanks for posting!
This is not the most current recipe from Mr Brown. Hes current has only one pound of eggs,butter,flour, sugar. Alittle vanilla and salt.
