We know it as the moist cake under our fruit and whipped cream topping, but pound cake has a history as rich as it’s taste. With origins dating back to the early 1700s, this timeless dessert’s original form – which included only four ingredients – is featured in the first cookbook ever published in the United States. Swapping traditional all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend and incorporating nut milk and vanilla, this clever reincarnation has the same classic buttery taste, and it’s made with better-for-you ingredients.
