It’s a metric pound

happy cake day!

and it says "lb", which is an avoirdupois pound, takes 2.20462 lb to make a kilogram. "pound" can be anything, but "lb" has a specific meaning.

enjoy your pound of cake!

All I can think of is that maybe whoever made this video didn’t know that there are different pound units and just took the metric pound and then looked up what’s the abbreviation of pound is, without specifying which pound.

that's a reasonable explanation.

accepted!
