Sour Cream Pound Cake

Sour Cream Pound Cake is a beautifully dense, melt-in-your-mouth cake. This classic recipe uses just eight common ingredients and pairs perfectly with berries and whipped cream.

Straight from my grandmother’s archives, this sour cream pound cake is a true gem of a dessert. While hot milk cake was her go-to recipe, I was excited to find this one in her box of recipes and couldn’t wait to share it.
