When I was in college we did an experiment with twinkies.

We had a control twinkie. We had one that we just “left out” in a box and carefull weighed each month. We had one that we put a live mold culture on and another tha we put a live bacteria culture on.

The twinkies killed the mold and the bacteria. After mass analysis (weighing) of the in the box twinkie, we determined after one year, that the half life of a twinkie is about 11,000 years.

The pound cake, if dry, is likely indistinguishable from fresh.
