I have been baking this for about 50 minutes now and it still isn't done in the center and the edges are already brown. Not sure why this happened or how to fix it. Hoping it tastes good... I forgot to add in the vanilla. Oops!

I have tried this recipe two times. First time, it bubbled out of the pan all over the oven. This time, I used a larger pan. It tastes great but looks just awful. Most of it stuck in the pan, even though I greased and floured it. I think this is my last try! It's too expensive to make and get these results. Very sad that I won't have the pound cake for Christmas Eve dinner.

I've made this recipe a few times and it's to DIE for!! So moist and tasty, the term 'Pound Cake' doesn't do it justice...it's heaven!! It is a tad sweet for our tastes so we reduce the sugar a bit (in the cake), but otherwise, PERFECT!! Thanks Paula, for one of my favorite go to recipes.

I made this for a family get together, I went over GREAT. I made two, one did fall in the center but it was great. I have since made it again and limited my beating of the batter and that remedied the problem.

I saw this recipe and I said, wow how easy it seems and how good the picture looks. And after reading these awesome reviews, I said that I have to make this sour cream pound cake today. I will keep you all posted. I do have one question, is it possible to use the mini loaf pans instead of the loaf pan? I wanted to share with family. Thanks, Yolanda, Duluth, GA

I just baked this and am eating it now. First off I didn’t have any vanilla (I know WHAT!!!) So I used Almond Extract so alls good. The Almond extract does change the flavor a little. But I like it. It did take a lot longer to bake than i expected I wound up having to bake it for about 1 hour 30 minutes for the center to be firm enough to eat. The crust however got too hard from the over baking to compensate for the middle. But I would bake it again it was an easy tasty dessert to make with only a few ingredients.

Hey Ellen! It is important not to overbeat your batter. This could be the cause of your cake falling in the center. It could also be your oven. Test your oven with an oven thermometer to make sure it is heating correctly. Happy Baking!

Ok... I have made this pound cake (3) THREE TIMES and every single time it has dropped in the center! I thought my flour was the culprit the first time so I purchased new flour (self rising).....made it again and it dropped again....This time I put in the soda even though I was using (self rising) flour....and it dropped AGAIN! The caks taste's AMAZING......but why O why is it still dropping in the center?????
By Ellen Guillory on June 15, 2011
My family and I just loved this pound cake. It was gone the next day!! I deem this recipe worthy enough to go into my recipe box.! Love ya Paula!

I was very disappointed with this cake. I've made another of Paula's pound cakes with great results. I felt there was too much butter (imagine that) so I made a second cake with 1/2 cup butter and only 1 cup sugar. Still too dense. Maybe too much egg? I do like the size, nice for just 2 of us. Time to move onto another recipe.
