(a pound of this, a pound of that) is post period. I had made one and was
challenged to provide documentation by HG Cariadoc (natch!). All I could
find was from well out of our time. <

There is one reference in the Martha Washington book -- for curran
cake. waiting on a cookbook from colonial williamsburg {hopefully with
original recipes} I'm gonna play with the recipes from digby -- these cake
recipes didn't just "pop" up, so i'm wondering if a cook/baker somewhere
didn't "forget" the barm yeast and amazed themself with the results. I
hadn't thought to take "pound" cake literally, just to find out more about
the dense cakes we now call pound cakes.
