My Grandma would make one of these cakes for each adult member of the family at Christmas time. This was a BIG gesture for her because we had 9 kids in our family. When she passed away, my mom took the reins and make the cakes for everyone and then when she passed away, I took over. These take a long time to cook but they are so worth it. The picture doesn’t do it justice, I promise.

Grandma’s Cassie’s Sour Cream Pound Cake

This is a great cake to have with coffee – sweet but not overly sweet.

Notes

Tip: I use my Kitchen Aid mixer when I make these cakes because it’s easier to let it mix while I add each egg one at a time and add the sour cream and flour.
