National Pound Cake Day
March 4, 2024
National Pound Cake Day is celebrated annually on March 4. The day is a celebration of the cake’s long history and encourages people to bake pound cakes for their loved ones.
Origins: It is believed that the pound cake is of northern European origin and dates back to the early 18th century. A recipe for pound cake appears in The Art of Cookery by Hannah Glasse, published in 1747. The first U.S. cookbook, American Cookery, published in 1796, has a recipe for pound cake.
