Certainly a pound cake recipe should not be hard to find.

The classic ratio is one pound of butter, one pound of sugar, one
pound of flour and one pound of eggs (usually 9 on average back in
the day, 7 today).

... I now wish I had bought 25 pounds of steak instead of just 20.

that would seem to be a four pound cake :P

i knew about a pound of butter but never thought about measuring the other ingredients by weight...

Hi mark,

It's actually a lot more accurate than cups, etc. especially if you
measure in metrics. Grams are much more precise than ounces. When we
lived in Germany, I picked up some cook books that measured in metrics
so I also got a kitchen scale. I've upgraded the scale several times
since but the one I have now measures in both metric and English. Some
of the recipies also called for measuring by egg weights--weigh the egg
you are using and use that number as a base for the other weights.
Interesting concept but does put everything into proper proportion.

Professional bakers generally weigh rather than measure ingredients
as its more accurate. For example a cup of flour can weigh anywhere
from 3 3/8 ounces up to 4 1/2 ounces depending on whether the flour
is finely or coarsely milled, packed, settled, fluffed or sifted and
eggs can very in size a lot too.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Bacon Stuffed Cheeseburgers
Categories: Sandwiches, Beef, Groundmeat, Bacon, Cheese
Yield: 4 Servings

1/2 c Shredded sharp cheddar
4 sl Cooked chopped bacon
1 lb Ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly
Ground black pepper
4 lg Split hamburger buns
Ketchup, mayo, and mustard
For serving

Combine cheese and chopped bacon in a bowl. Put the beef in another
bowl and sprinkle salt and pepper, mixing with a rubber spatula.

Flatten 1/4 of the meat mixture in between the palms of your hands.
Squeeze together about a tablespoon of the cheese and bacon mixture
into a small ball and place in the center of the beef. Bring the
sides of the patty over the filling, making sure the cheese is
totally covered by the beef. Flatten slightly for a patty shape.
Place in the refrigerator while the grill heats up.

Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or an
outdoor preheated barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates
with oil to prevent the burgers from sticking.

Grill burgers for 8 minutes on each side for a medium char. Place
onto a clean plate until serving.

Rub the grill with more oil and place the buns cut-side down,
toasting them for 1 minute.

Place burgers on bun, garnish to your liking.

... Flourless bread! That's an oxymoron, right? But no!

Not to mention the humidity in the room has an effect on the weight.
