I think your right... it is old.. everything measures up to a pound... I have to make this. Pound cake is my favorite... You can make so many desserts with a good pound cake.

My guess is with the saltyness, is that you should use unsalted butter in the recipe. I used salted butter, but did cut back the salt to about 1 tsp. But overall, this cake was just so-so, not great, but not bad. A little dry considering all the butt...more
