There are many traditions that arrive with the holiday season. Decorations, family get-togethers and home baking are all very much a part of the season.

This year, make pound cakes the center of attention on your holiday dinner or buffet table. These traditional favorites take on a new and exciting look with the updated versions featured in the 1986 Christmas Recipe Leaflet from the Martha White Kitchen - Pound Cakes, Updated Classics for the Holidays.

The original pound cake received its name from the cake’s ingredients - a pound each of flour, sugar, eggs and butter.

Containing tempting ingredients such as chocolate chips and cream cheese, these new variations demonstrate that tradition can get better with age.

Holiday benefits from these delicious creations go beyond their tempting ingredients and striking appearance:

• You will get at least 24 good size servings from a bundt or tube cake.

• Pound cakes are easy to transport.

• They make welcome gifts.

• Pound cakes freeze well. They can be baked ahead of time and iced or glazed after removing from the freezer.

Attention to a few helpful tips will help you create delicious pound cakes every time:
