Few desserts are as universally pleasing as sour cream pound cake. When you’re looking for easy dessert ideas<\/a>, this buttery cake with a tender crumb and subtly sweet flavor\u2014with just a hint of vanilla!\u2014is perfect for just about any occasion.<\/p>\n

Unlike the original old-fashioned pound cake recipe<\/a>, which calls for a pound of butter, sugar, eggs and flour, this modern adaptation incorporates a few bonus ingredients that make the classic recipe even better.<\/p>\n

For one, sour cream takes it to next-level yum. Like many sour cream desserts<\/a>, it adds a delightful tang to the batter, but also extra fat and acid, which helps create an undeniably moist and rich cake. In other words, it’s a game-changer. Baking in a traditional Bundt pan gives the pound cake those beautiful ridges, taking something super simple and adding a little pizzazz.<\/p>\n

Beyond its incredible taste and texture, what we love most about this easy pound cake recipe is that it serves as a perfect<\/em> base for an array of desserts (hello, grilled pound cake with berries<\/a>!) and can be tweaked to have almost endless flavor possibilities.<\/p>\n
