Grandby's Sour Cream Pound Cake Recipe image

Is there anything better than Mama's pound cake? This recipe comes to us from Gary Stanton of country duo Muscadine Bloodline. "My mama's cooking brings me back to memories of growing up in Mobile. There's nothing like walking into the house when I get back home for the holidays and smell her cooking up something in the kitchen. It's the best!" Just like any classic Southern pound cake, his Mama's recipe has plenty of butter, sugar, and sour cream to get that ideal light-and-fluffy texture. Why not make Mama a pound cake for Mother's Day this year?

Provided by Kay D.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter
3 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour
6 large eggs
1 -2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325.
  • Cream butter and sugar together with your heavy-duty mixer.
  • Add the sour cream and mix thoroughly.
  • Sift baking soda and flour together.
  • Add the flour to the creamed mixture, alternating with one egg at a time (about 1/2 cup of flour each time).
  • Mix well after each addition.
  • Add the vanilla and mix well.
  • Spoon the mixture into a well greased and floured 10 inch tube or bundt pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in cake tests COMPLETELY clean.
  • Let cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  • Invert cake on wire rack, removing from pan and let cool completely.
  • Frost as desired (powdered sugar glaze is good) or leave plain and garnish with fresh berried and freshly whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Sour Cream Pound Cake is a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. This moist, tender cake is perfect for any occasion, and it's easy to make.
