Sour Cream Pound Cake is a traditional pound cake made with sour cream.
The addition of the sour cream makes the cake extra moist and flavorful.
Watch the video for this recipe!
Sour Cream Pound Cake is very similar to regular pound cake with extra moisture and flavor. This pound cake holds its texture, but is light and just melts in your mouth.
Ingredients needed:
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Eggs- room temperature
- Unsalted butter- room temperature
- Full-fat sour cream- room temperature
- Salt
- Baking powder
- Vanilla
- Almond extract
Steps to make the pound cake:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour the bundt pan or use Baker's Joy Cooking spray or similar.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Add the eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry mixture to the batter, alternating with sour cream.
- Once the ingredients are well blended pour evenly into greased bundt pan.
- Bake for 75 minutes or until the cake is golden brown. (Insert a wooden toothpick into the center of the cake. The cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean.)
- Allow the cake to cool before inverting it onto a wire rack to complete the cooling process.
Cakes hold a special place in my heart because my grandmother has always baked them. When she was younger, every time I would visit, she baked a Sour Cream cake, a 7 up cake or her famous Coconut cake.
I have to get around to making the Coconut cake for you all as well. My grandmother (my dad's mom) always sends me home with a few slices of cake and a few extra treats.
I'm old school if you haven't figured it out yet, so I had been greasing my bundt pan and then dusting it with flour. My grandmother always recommended using Bakers Joy instead.
I finally tried it out after years of resistance and it was a big game-changer. Using Baker's Joy is quick, easy and you're baked goodies will come out of the pan with ease. Needless to say, it was money well spent!
I hope that you will bake this cake and enjoy creating memories of your own with family/friends.
