Dating back to the 1700s, true pound cake gets its name from the quantity of its ingredients: a pound each of butter, sugar, flour and eggs. This pound cake may not be “true” but keeps well, that is, if you can avoid devouring it!
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan.
Blend butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, then flour and milk, alternating. Add vanilla and mix well. Pour into the pan and bake one hour and 20 minutes. Let cool.
For the frosting, simmer the butter and brown sugar for two minutes over medium heat while stirring. Add other ingredients and remove from heat. Drizzle on cake. If too stiff, add one tablespoon of hot water. Sprinkle walnuts on top.
