This clue might be a double definition.

'pound' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'cake mixture?' is the second definition.
'batter' can be an answer for 'mixture?' (batter is a kind of mixture). I am unsure of the 'cake' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for batter that I've seen before include "Thin mixture of flour and liquid" , "Fish may be fried in this coating" , "Hit repeatedly" , "Hit hard and often, like cooking mixture" , "Beat the cooking mixture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
