Description

I searched for a long time for the “perfect” pound cake and I feel this one fits the bill. It is a little crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I usually bake this in an extra long loaf pan for a wonderful presentation.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • 3 cups Sugar
  • 6 whole Large Eggs
  • 3 cups Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 container (8 Oz.) Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract

Preparation

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes or until soft and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until the yellow disappears.

Combine flour and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. After each addition, mix at the lowest speed just until blended. Stir in flavorings.

Spoon batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan (or bundt pan). Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes; remove from the pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Yields one 10-inch cake.

Great served alone or with fresh berries.

Very tasty. My 15yo daughter made this yesterday for Easter. It was simple, moist, flavorful with a great texture. We cut a slice, spread it with lemon curd and topped it with strawberries and whipped cream. I’ll use this recipe again.

My husband and my 5 year old made this cake for our weekly Sunday get together with family. My brother said it was the best pound cake he had ever had. DELICIOUS!

This is delicious! I made it for my mother-in-law’s birthday and she said it tasted just like the one her mother used to make. It’s incredibly moist with a great outer texture. I baked it in a bundt pan and it came out beautifully.

Simply scrumptious…the best pound cake recipe I have tried to date. Easy to make and it turns out so pretty! Smooth texture on the inside and a bit crispy and brown on the outside. It doesn’t seem quite as heavy as some of the others I have tried…this is my new pound cake recipe for good!
