One of my favorite pound cakes. Make it just as the recipe says (ok, maybe an extra tsp. of vanilla. Sweet??? It's a cake! Give it a try. Great topped with unsweetened strawberries.

Made this for the second time today. Did not change a thing and in came out beautifully. Rose perfectly and had a wonderful taste. As I bit into it I recalled perfectly the sour cream poundcake made by my own grandmother.

Huh? Do not get all these 5-star reviews. I've been baking for 40 years; perhaps others here have not made many pound cakes. Followed recipe exactly, right to the tee. No sinking, not too sweet, no problems at all except taste and texture--both left much to be desired. Bland taste, dense cornbread-like texture as another reviewer aptly suggested. Terrible.
