Sour Cream Pound Cake

Kozmic Blues's Note:

Simple and delicious. This is great served with fresh whipped cream and strawberries (or any fresh fruit). I also like to drizzle mine with lavender honey. But truthfully, it's terrific plain too. Great for school or church bake sales.

Excellent pound cake!!! I had some sour cream that was going to go bad and needed to make something with sour cream... it helped that I'd been craving pound cake, but all my pound cake recipes omit sour cream so I needed a new recipe. This was much better than my other tried recipes because I think the sour cream made it more moist. I added three dashes of nutmeg as my mother does in her recipe. Thanks so much for posting this!

This Pound cake is so good! I added some lemon zest and a juice then I made a quick lemon glaze and it turned out fantastic!!! Moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Thanks so much for the recipe, I'll make this again and again.
