Anytime I do this type of baking, memories of my Grandma just flood in. I have pulled this recipe out several times when the world seemed upside down and by the time I'm pulling it out of the oven things are always alittle bit better. It's a great recipe, my family loves it, it's not difficult or fussy, and in the summer its almost like a little slice of heaven topped with some fresh ripe strawberries or peaches and a spoonful of whipped cream. YUMMY!

I have used both all purpose flour and cake flour and they both made the pound cake a hit with my family!!! I make every holiday and any occasion!! Grandma Paul's recipe is the best pound ever!! Thanks Paula Deen!!

TaJuana, Hi! If you were to take out the maximum amount of sugar it will not have the same taste and the middle would not be done with consistency because it would have too much butter. Try changing the sugar brand if the sweet is the issue. sweet n low?

Hi, I would like to try to make the pound cake. What do I do, if I want to use less sugar in baked recipes? Thanks.........TaJuana

I just made this for my son's wedding cake! It was awesome! I used this recipe, cut the cake in half & filled w/ a whipped cream and fresh raspberry filling, and topped w/ marshmallow fondant. Seriously, the best wedding cake I ever ate- and I even made it myself! Thanks Paula, your the best!

3 cups of sugar?? Is this cake overly sweet? I'm concerned that it would taste too sweet so maybe the amount of sugar should be cut down a little. Comments, please.

This is the best sour cream pound I have ever made. Everyone just love it.

I am going to try this again because it is so delicious. But I had the same problem others have had with the cake running over the edges. This time I'm going to try beating the batter less, using old fashion grease and flour for the pan as opposed to baking spray, and using a tube pan instead of a fluted Bundt pan. Salvaged some of the cake the first time I made it and served with raspberry sauce and drizzles of cream and my family went crazy! Any other advice on this problem would be greatly appreciated!

What kind of flour do you use for this recipe? My mom used cake flour in most of her cake recipes. Also, can you use margarine instead of butter? (I guess I know the answer to that one, without having to ask!!!!) I enjoy watching your shows very much.
