I dunno. If I were the merchant of Venice, I wouldn't have demanded a pound of flesh. Why insist upon that when you can have yummy pound cake instead? At least pound cake has some sort of use! What was he going to do with his pound of flesh anyway? Not like he was gonna eat it... What's the point in that?
This is my favorite pound cake. I've been working on the recipe a while, and I think I finally got it how I like. The outside is crusty and slightly crisp, and the inside is crumbly but moist. If you want extra flavor, up the amount of vanilla extract. As listed in this recipe, it makes a good base for something like strawberries+cake. (I mean, you can use blueberries if you want, but why ruin a perfectly good cake?!) But if you plan on just eating the cake alone, I would add a little extra something.

Pound Cake
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 1/2 c sugar
1/4 c sour cream
1/4 c milk
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350. Cream the butter and sugar together, then add the sour cream and milk. Mix together. Sift the baking soda and flour together. Add the flour to the liquid mixture alternating with eggs, beating in each egg one at a time. Add vanilla.
Pour into a prepared loaf pan. Bake 50 mins to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
