VIRGINIA POUND CAKE
Rich and velvety, this cake contributed as much toward making Virginia famous as Brunswick stew. Since pound cake uses no baking powder and depends entirely upon eggs and air for leavening, its success depends upon the length of time it is beaten. If beaten by hand, an hour is not too long. Use an electric beater if possible. From the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
