COLD OVEN POUND CAKE

I am one of those people who just doesn't believe everything she sees on the 'net'. So when I received this recipe saying it was 100 years old I looked up "bundt pan". I remembered when bundt pans became a 'new' thing. My thought is that this cake recipe may truly be over 100 years old but if so the instructions, etc have been changed. We did not have bundt pans over 100 years ago. And over 100 years ago most recipes used lard, not oil. It does sound like a tasty cake, though. The recipe follows this bundt cake/pan article.

A Bundt cake /bʌnt/ is a cake that is baked in a Bundt pan, shaping it into a distinctive ring shape. The shape is inspired by a traditional European cake known as Gugelhupf, but Bundt cakes are not generally associated with any single recipe. The style of mold in North America was popularized in the 1950s and 60s, after cookware manufacturer Nordic Waretrademarked the name "Bundt" and began producing Bundt pans from cast aluminum. Publicity from Pillsbury saw the cakes gain widespread popularity.
