   All pound cakes were originally made from a pound each of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Since over the years the recipe has changed with the addition of different flavorings. However butter simply is the flavor most tasted when bitting into a slice of poundcake. It should always be a very fine textured, moderately heavy moist cake. Using half butter and half margarine won’t change the cake texture but it will change it’s rich buttery flavor.
