The 4th of March is Pound Cake Day.

If the day has crept up on you caught you unawares so that you don’t have time to make one, you could always sneak out to the grocery store and buy one.

Why is it called a pound cake, anyway? And how long has this cake been around? CooksInfo knows; see the entry on pound cake.
