Today’s Sour Cream Pound Cake recipe is an easy one when you are looking for a tasty dessert cake. This recipe is very simple, but the result is a lovely cake!

Hello Friends! How is your week going? We went on a little road trip last weekend and it felt so good to be away for a weekend. We enjoyed some wine tasting and some lovely vineyard scenery.

Why This Recipe?

Sometimes there is nothing like a good pound cake to just fulfill your sweet tooth. Back in the day, a pound cake was made with a pound of each, flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. I promise you this one is lighter but is sooooooo good! I like to serve mine with fresh whipped cream and berries, but y0u could also serve plain or with a light icing.

Pound cakes are great at any time of year. I tend to make them more during fall and winter because when it is cold, I love baking.

 

What to serve with Sour Cream Pound Cake?

One thing I love about pound cake is how versatile it is. You can enjoy it on its own or with:

• Jelly or Jam
• Fresh fruit 
• Whipped cream
• Hazelnut Spread
• Caramel Sauce
• Chocolate Sauce
• Buttercream icing
• Ice cream
