Our poundcakes remind us of our Greek grandmothers, avid bakers and matriarchs. In the old villages, women would gather each week at a different home whose homemaker's turn it was to have her woodburning oven ready for all. Amid the gossip, they would bake their varied cakes and as they emerged from the clay and brick oven they would cover them in perfumed syrup keeping them moist, and collapsingly tender. Can you imagine the aroma wafting around those homes?
