Barbados Pound Cake

Cultural Context

Traditionally made with simple ingredients, it symbolizes hospitality and is often served with tea or during festive occasions. Today, variations abound, with many adding local flavors like rum or tropical fruits, making it a beloved dessert not just in Barbados but across the Caribbean.
