I haven't seen any evidence that what we know of as pound cake was done
in period. It seems to be a creation of post-period times. Things
were whipped but meringue-y type egg whites only show up very late and
not, generally, the way we expect them to be. I think it was this list
that had the discussion of "snow" which at first appeared to be whipped
egg whites but ended up having a lot more stuff in it.
