History of Pound cake: It was originally made of a pound of flour, eggs, butter, and sugar.
History of the Trifle: The name originated from the French word "Truffle" which means whimsical. A long time ago the British used old or stale cake to make the trifle, because the syrup and fruit would make the cake moist and edible.
