I was introduced to this Old Fashioned Sour Cream Pound Cake in the early 1970s when I was holding Tar Heel Tasting Parties for my salespeople.
One of my representatives made this Old Fashioned Sour Cream Pound Cake Recipe from scratch and brought it to share with the attendees.
thought, well I’m seeing this or one sorta like this around on the internet lately, I think I’ll give it a try. I did
It still did not meet my expectations.
Then I did what I always do when something I make doesn’t quite make the mark.
I started to study my recipe.(I know. I should do that before making the cake ).
There it was! Not enough fat ratio for the moisture and tenderness I was looking for.
Plus, the recipe contained baking soda in the formula instead of baking powder I would prefer.
Baking soda neutralizes acid in sour cream.
“Well, I wanted the acid taste of sour cream, didn’t I?” Sure I did… I was talking to myself.
I added a thin glaze to cover the cake and give it glamour and heighten it’s flavor.
I was pleased with the results and hope you like this version!
