This easy sour cream pound cake recipe is a tribute to Grandma Rose! It’s unbelievably moist, tender, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups white sugar

½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened

½ cup sour cream

3 large eggs

1 pinch baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8×4-inch loaf pan. (Don’t skip this step! It’ll save you a lot of heartache later.)
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This is where a good mixer comes in handy, but you can definitely do it by hand if you’re feeling ambitious!
  3. Add the sour cream and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well. Make sure everything is nicely combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix – that can make the cake tough.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use European-style butter.
  • Feel free to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
