The Original Butter Pound Cake at Irresistible Pound Cakes was created by our Aunt Ola as a family affair. She would gather her kids in the kitchen as she carefully placed each of her ingredients on the countertop, explaining the purpose for each item. As she began to cream the butter and sugar together until they were light and fluffy, she would have the kids pass each of the remaining items as she requested them. As the batter became thicker and thicker, once the fresh eggs and flour were added, Aunt Ola would allow the kids to take turns assisting. Back during her time, there were no cake mixers available; everything had to be mixed by hand. They whipped and creamed for what seemed like hours in a hot kitchen with no air-conditioning, which was typical living conditions in the South. No one complained because they knew if they did, they wouldn’t get a chance to lick the bowl – and licking the bowl was the best part!
