Sour Cream Pound Cake Recipe


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 you could also serve plain or with a light icing.

Sour Cream Pound Cake

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.

    This is one of my dad's favorites. Sometimes we make it in lieu of a birthday cake - meaning in lieu of a traditional sugary birthday cake. He loves this!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
