Sour Cream Pound Cake #SundaySupper
Comfort food.
That one dish that transports you.
The one meal that can seem to make all of your problems disappear.
The one recipe that can take you out of your kitchen and put you back around that wooden table with the mismatched chairs and the counters full of food. The taste that takes you back to sharing a Sunday Supper with your aunts and uncles and cousins.
It’s truly amazing what a piece of cake can do. It can take me back to her. Back to the house at the end of the longest driveway in the world. The house that no one ever used the front door because the back one was always open. Back to a bowl full of Andes Mints on the entry table and nesting dolls that I could play with for hours.
Even though I don’t remember much in regards to her cooking; I do remember her pound cake. The moist sweet cake with ribbons of sour cream and the golden brown crust that I always saved for last.
The cake that will always give us one last #SundaySupper together.

Great recipe, and wonderful pictures!
Thank you Stephanie!
I love the memories! My grandma is a terrible cook however she made these amazing cookies that I will always remember. It is her one closely guarded secret that she did finally give me but asked that I never blog about, which by the way is torture because seriously, the world needs these cookies. I love pound cake but my husband often finds it too dull for his taste, but I bet he would change his mind with this recipe.
I did debate sharing the recipe since it is the one & only recipe I have from her but I knew as soon as we were doing comfort food for #SundaySupper that I wouldn’t be able to blog about any other recipe!
And since you can’t share the recipe for the cookies, you’re welcome to just send me a plate of them to taste test!! 😉
I love that you shared your grandmother’s recipe! This cake looks amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Alice!
Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos and memories. It makes me appreciate this delicious cake even more. You can never go wrong with pound cake or sour cream in baked goods. Yum!
Beautiful post. I love the pictures and reading about your memories 🙂 The cake looks divine 🙂
Thank you so much!
Goodness, I can tell this cake is going to be awesome! What a lovely mini-story of your Granny too 🙂
Oh wow – the cake looks so moist and wonderful!!!
I love recipes like this where they bring you back to childhood. Such a classic to make pound cake. It looks so tasty. Love the old photos too. Nice to be welcomed into your world.
Our family, especially my dad, loves pound cake. I can’t wait to try your version; it looks delicious.
I hope you & your dad like it!! Thanks so much for stopping by!
What a gorgeous cake!! I remember mom making something similar to this but soaked it a a rum glaze. Amazing!!
What great pictures! Sounds like a wonderful recipes, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Erin!!
Beautiful cake.. love how easy it is.
Love this recipe and love that you shared your memories with us. I am making my Nanny’s apple pie next week and thanks to your inspiration, I will be sharing a photo of her in my post. Thanks for sharing!
I always loved sour cream pound cake topped with strawberries and whipped cream when I was a kid!
Strawberries & whipped cream would be an excellent addition! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
I’m a sucker for pound cake. i love to make one and then use it for strawberry shortcake, with ice cream, or drizzle chocolate over top of it-yours sounds incredible with the sour cream in it!
Pound cake is my favorite. Yours looks wonderful.
Lovely memories. Thank you for sharing.
Pound cake is one of my favorite cakes. I used to make a lemon version all the time, but I like the addition of sour cream here. Will have to try this soon.
Lemon Pound Cake is absolutely delicious too! Thank you so much for stopping by!
I love sour cream pound cake!! It’s just the best! I love all the photos you shared with us too 🙂
I do love an old-fashioned bundt cake! This kind of cake is great plain with an ice-cold glass of milk…or some fresh berries and whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy. Mmmmmm…
Beautiful and delicious cake!!
I’ve been looking for a fabulous pound cake! This one will be made today! YUM!
I hope you enjoy it Jen!! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Made this cake yesterday. The moment I took it out of the oven it fell and the bottom of the cake was still a wet dough. I rebaked it and it cooked the wet dough somewhat but it didn’t rise again or bake completely through. Still tasted good. I live in western new York. Could the altitude have something to do with it? I was disappointed needless to say.
Oh man, I’m so sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you Michelle! I imagine altitude could have played a factor – I’m in TX so that’s definitely different from NY! 🙂 It’s a family recipe that we make on a regular basis, and I’ve never had issues with it not baking through or falling. I’m happy to trouble shoot with you though to try to make it work next time!
Oh yes! A slice of this gorgeous pound cake with a dollop of cream and berries would transport me for sure! 🙂
This is the ultimate plain cake, but so good! Houses where the back or kitchen door is used more than the main entrance will always remind me of comfort food!
Beautiful post! Wonderful photos and memories you shared. I love how your comfort food is one of your family’s recipes. Perfect for Sunday Supper.
This cake looks delicious, thanks for sharing. My Grandmother would make the best Angel Food cake and sponge cakes…
