Pecan Sour Cream Pound Cake image

I won first place with this cake at the Cuyahoga County Fair (Cleveland, Ohio) in 1993. For a nuttier variation, you can substitute 1 cup of the flour with 1 cup of ground pecans.

This recipe is a fail. The cake was dense and dry, and the pecans were not evenly distributed.

I thought this cake was just okay. It was a bit dry and the pecan flavor was not very pronounced.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This pound cake was a hit! It had a moist, tender crumb and a delicious pecan flavor. The sour cream added a nice tanginess and richness. I will definitely be making this again.
