this is so good! the cake rose well above the 8" pan and looked wonderful. not to mention the whole house just smells so good. i was going to save it until later, after dinner, like i tell my kids. but it was calling my name. so i tatsted a sliver-then another- before i knew it this baby has suffered serious damage. so i came up here to post a review before i demolish the whole thing! seriously, i had alot of sour cream and this seemed like a good recipe to use someof it up, but i think i will always have to have it on hand now in case i feel like making this awesome cake

The cake turns out great but once removed from the oven, there's a very strong soda smell and even after cooling, the cake still taste of slight soda, wonder if I should reduce the soda by half?

I made ths cake for Christmas morning to have with our coffee. It turned out great! My husbanc loved it. Moist, but not too rich. As he said, "this one is a keeper."

This was a wonderful cake for our Sunday morning breakfast. I think anything with sour cream in it automatically makes it delicious and moist. Also loved the brown sugar pecan filling and topping mixture. Another winner from CL. Thanks.
