This old fashioned sour cream pound cake is wonderfully buttery, with a crunchy exterior, and tender crumb on the inside! I love serving this pound cake with some fresh berries and whipped cream. You can bake this pound cake in a bundt pan or loaf pans for an easy impressive dessert everyone will love.
When you hear the words โpound cakeโ I think that should conjure images of a dense buttery cake thatโs also soft, and tender all at the same time. I think what I love about a good pound cake, is that thereโs no fussing around with layers, and frosting, and making it all pretty. Bake it in a bundt pan and itโs just pretty on it own! No filters needed, know what Iโm saying?
All this pound cake needs is a simple dusting of powdered sugar on top. Maybe make some homemade whipped cream on the side with some fresh berries, or maybe strawberry topping and itโs the perfect summer dessert if you ask me.
This pound cake with sour cream which creates a moist, tender crumb that canโt be beat. I flavored it simply with a little vanilla extract but you could easily add some almond extract or a little zest if you want to.
