Sour Cream Pound Cake


We had a potluck luncheon at work recently and one of my coworkers, Mike, brought in a Pound Cake. Since I can't pass up anything sweet, tried some and loved it. Of course, I asked him for the recipe and served it recently to our friends. I served it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, but it's also good just plain(had another piece after they left). This is a real simple recipe, everything goes into one bowl and mixed. Hope you will give it a try, I am sure you will enjoy it too.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups sugar
  • 2 Cups flour
  • 1 8 oz container of sour cream
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 Teaspoon salt
  • 2 Sticks of butter, softened


Beat together for 3 minutes at medium speed and put into Bundt pan.

Bake in 325 degree oven for 55 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Next blend together with a whisk:

  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice

Drizzle over cooled pound cake and serve.

P.S. I bet it will taste great with lemon extract or fresh lemon juice instead of the vanilla extract. Will give that a try next week and let you know how it turns out. Stay tuned!!!
