"This, to me, is undoubtedly the best sour cream pound cake I have ever made. It comes out perfect every time. I keep a close eye on mine in the oven. I do not like an overly brown cake. This would be delish with any type of fruit and whipped cream. I like it simply cut and thrown on a paper plate! Yum!! I hope you enjoy."

This recipe was great! It came out perfectly moist and fluffy without being too airy or too dense. The flavor was spot on. My husband (who usually doesn't like cake) couldn't get enough. We served it with strawberries and whipped cream and tea. A new keeper for my recipe box :)

Hello everyone, I live in historic Yorktown, VA. I am a SAHM of two, a ten year old daughter and a three year old son. I love to cook and bake. Unfortunately for me, I have always been a big gal, as they say here in the South, but my theory is-the more you eat, the smaller I look. If I can fatten you up it makes me look better. :) Cooking is also a great stress reliever for me. I really enjoy this web site and thank everyone who has contributed to making it so insightful and fun! <img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/AMpageSticker.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/4811_39528.png border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>
