This recipe comes from my sister-in-law and is really called Cindy's Butt Kickin' Sour Cream Cake. My husband raves about this cake! It is a recipe that Cindy got from her Aunt Dot. The trick, according to Aunt Dot, to baking any cake that does not have baking powder in it is to NOT PREHEAT THE OVEN. According to Aunt Dot.....this is "very important".

How To Make sour cream pound cake

  • 1
    Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks. Beat.
  • 2
    Add the sour cream. Mix. Add the flour, soda and vanilla. Mix well.
  • 3
    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. ( I use one of those single stick hand blenders.) Fold the egg whites into the mix.
  • 4
    Grease and flour a tube pan. Cut a piece of wax paper to fit the bottom. Add the cake mixture to the tube pan.
  • 5
    DO NOT PREHEAT THE OVEN. Place the cake in a cold oven, turn the oven on to 300 degrees and bake the cake for TWO hours. Bake until a knife or toothpick comes out clean.
