does it really weigh a pound??

it was called pound cake because it called for a pound of everything: butter, flour, eggs, etc.

I'm making a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Will you be making one also?

It's called a pound cake because it has a pound of butter in it. I don't recall ever being told that it the other ingredients comprised a pound, but that may be so.

There is always chocolate and cakes and every other damn temptation at the library during the holiday season. It's actually pretty cool having all of this corrupting stuff there.

taken from http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/CakeHistory.htm :
Pound Cake - The name comes from the fact that the original pound cakes contained one pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. No leaveners were used other than the air whipped into the batter. In the days when many people couldn't read, this simple convention made it simple to remember recipes.

OK, my grandmother always told me it was the butter, but the older recipes are like that. They didn't have many measuring cups or teaspoons or whatever either. The older recipes are actually impossible to completely follow, when people in my medieval re-enactment society use medieval recipes they must "redact" (practically re-construct) them. It's not easy.
