Pound Cake



I will always choose pound cake over angel food cake. It is a personal preference. I have been on a berry high lately. I promise I'll come up with something that involves something other than berries.


In your mixer mix on high for 2 minutes:

1 cup butter
2, 1/2 cups sugar

Now add one at a time:

6 eggs

In a medium bowl whisk by hand:

3 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

In a small bowl mix:

1 cup sour cream or vanilla yogurt
2 tsp vanilla or lemon extract

Now add half the flour mixture to the mixer. Then add half the sour cream mixture to the mixer. Then the last half of the flour mixture and then the last of the sour cream mixture. Mix well after addition.

Pour the batter into a well greased and floured bundt pan.

Bake at 325 for 60 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on the counter. Then remove from pan. Serve with strawberries and hand-whipped whipping cream.
