My sisters and brothers and I and any visitor would walk into my parents home and go directly to the kitchen, of course after the usual salutations, to see if there was a cake under mom's silver metal cake pan. She always kept it out so sometimes we wouldn't find anything there. My favorite to find there was her pound cake.

1 1/4 cups butter (softened)
