Scrumptious Sour Cream Pound Cake

My last three bakes have been inside a loaf pan. I love baking in them because they’re so easy and versatile! 

This sour cream pound cake has just the right level of sweetness to tanginess making it perfect for dessert, snack, and even breakfast. It all depends on how you plan on serving it.

Choose for a glaze, leave it plain, or just dust some powdered sugar on top. You can also top a slice with whipped cream and strawberries.

I like to have options 🙂

I love using sour cream in my bakes. It gives it a balanced acidic taste without being overbearing and also introduces an element of moisture which helps to create a delicious loaf. 

The bake on this loaf is very important. If you overbake, it will be dry with a dusty crumb. To make sure the cake is baked, just insert a skewer in the middle during baking and if there are just a few crumbs attached the cake is ready. 

For the vanilla, you can use pure vanilla extract, but if you want a richer flavor use vanilla paste. You can also sprinkle in some orange, lime, or lemon zest for an extra kick.

If you notice below, I am using cake flour instead of all purpose to achieve a finer crumb but if you don’t have it on hand, simply use plain flour.

After you master this easy recipe, there won’t be a need to get it in the store. Flavor and texture-wise it does not even come close.

When I was growing up, there was a homemade pound cake inside a cake plate on our kitchen island every week. Taking a slice after school has always been a keen memory and since I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately, I’ve been making these delicious bakes.

I hope you can make this delicious Sour Cream Pound Cake at home. If you do, please let me know how it comes out!
