Leave it to my grandfatherand Southern Living editorsto have passionate opinions about this classic sweet.
Pound cakes by their nature are incredibly rich.
The whisper-thin slice allows you to savor every buttery crumb without being overwhelmed by the indulgence of it all.

Somebody has to die for a really good pound cake.
Day old (or day 2/3) pound cake is definitely better!
The only time its worth eating day-of is hot out of the oven, but just the crispy top.
