Sour Cream Pound Cake Recipe

Sour Cream Pound Cake Recipe is a simple classic and always a crowd-pleaser! It’s creamy and smooth on the inside with a crispy crust on the outside and top. I love that!

Sour Cream Pound Cake Recipe takes 90 minutes to bake since it’s so dense, but well worth the time. It is flavored with vanilla extract and has a vanilla/buttery combo flavor.

This buttery cake is great with fresh fruit, fruit sauce, cool whip, caramel, chocolate or plain. It’s very versatile; this is one reason I like it for potlucks and parties. You can serve a Pound Cake Bar with various toppings and everyone will be happy!

Sour Cream Pound Cake Recipe Tips

• Always use real butter in pound cake recipes unless the recipe specifically gives you a substitution
• Use good quality ingredients. Premium flour, butter and vanilla especially. It really does make a difference in taste
• The standard in any recipe is to use Grade A Large eggs. If you use a smaller egg use this guide for substitutions
