Oh there used to be an emoji with those codes last I was here. Guess that’s no more.

Kyon ki isme sugar aur flour dono aik aik pound hota hai ? 
This cake was first made in las vagas by a man named Mr.chips. When the first customer came, he had pounds in his pocket because he was from england... hence the owner named it pound cake..
lol nooo [USER="149445"]Pakistani Prince[/USER] that's not how it got its name.. this cake was first made in the 1700s, at that time for the sake of remembering ingredients and to make it easier for people to make, everything was made by the pound. hence, pound cake. I read an article with fun facts and this was one of them the other day :)
So Tamgha-E-Imtiaz goes to Mohtarma Pakistani Prince Yayyyy 
None of us would’ve figured that one out with all the Google misters at our disposal 
@akaprincess and @LP and [USER=“149445”]Pakistani Prince[/USER] you all got close to the right answers! however @akaprincess was totally correct! :yess::k:
@FigmentOfYour you can have your cake and eat it too! 
**The point I was trying to make here is the recipe is so simple to remember back in 1700 when everyone could not read! 
:read:
Why?
Because it is: One pound of Butter + One Pound of Sugar + One Pound of white Flour + One pound of Eggs ! 
essentially all in equal proportions!**
