Q. what is the main ingredient of pound cake

The miracle of pound cake is that there isn't a "main" ingredient. A traditional pound cake recipe calls for a pound each of butter, flour, eggs and sugar. This ratio of ingredients makes a large cake, so you may want to adjust the quantities to 1/2 pound of each.
