Sour Cream Pound Cake

As some of you know, my husband only has two or three desserts that he really loves.  He’ll try other things that I bake, but for the most part, he only gets excited about his faves.  So when I bake something new, I usually have to bake one of his favorites too, or I’ll look for new variations on his favorites to make.
I recently tried this sour cream pound cake for his birthday.  This is a “doctored” cake mix recipe, which I always love!  And I have to say, it was one of the best pound cakes I’ve had!  It’s very moist and has a great taste and consistently!  I added chocolate frosting, but any frosting would be good, and this would be wonderful as a plain cake as well.

  9. I forgot, does the sour cream make it moister or what? Is there a noticeable difference between using it just using the regular cake mix?

    Thanks!

  15. That looks delicious! I love Sour Cream Cake! Thanks for sharing…now I NEED a piece.

  16. Thanks everyone for all your lovely comments! This was the such a great tasting cake!

    Robyn, the sour cream does make the cake more moist, and it gives it a rich flavor.

    Olivia, I'm not sure about the yogurt. I've seen recipes before where it says you could use yogurt and sour cream pretty much interchangeably. But since I haven't tried it with this recipe, I can't say for certain.

  17. It looks delicious! Perfect with fresh strawberries and cream!
