磅蛋糕 Pound Cakes
磅蛋糕原來的意思是用相同的份量(皆一磅)做出來的濃郁重奶油蛋糕。 台灣稱重奶油蛋糕或布丁蛋糕。
Pound cake refers to a type of cake traditionally made with a pound of each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. The traditional recipe makes a cake much larger than most families can consume, and so the quantity is often changed to suit the size of the cake that is desired. As long as the ratio is preserved, the resulting cake will be identical to that using the traditional recipe. Hence, any cake made with a 1:1:1:1 ratio of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar is also called a pound cake, even if the quantity used is smaller or larger than an actual pound.
