Delicious! Baked this for the first time for a dinner party - and it was a hit! However, if the gathering had not been walking distance in our neighborhood I would have been in trouble....believe the reviews. First, it does take longer to bake than 1 hour, so allow extra time. Second, standard loaf pan size is too small. I placed extra batter in one mini-pan (trick I learned from my mom for tasting without cutting); and there is still enough cake baked to the bottom of my oven for two additional mini-pans! So, use a larger cake pan, or a smaller second pan in addition to the loaf pan. Lastly, mine fell slightly in the center as well - so i wish i'd read the comments before baking and taken the advice of Libbie (Senior Food Editor). Overall, the cake was very moist on the inside, nicely brown with a scrumptious crust on the outside - though not as picture perfect as Paula's. However, like all of her recipes, it worked perfectly for me! May God bless you Paula Deen!

I had some bantie eggs to use up so made up a double batch and used 6 small eggs. Beautiful dark buttery yellow batter! Next time I think I will use lemon extract instead of vanilla.

Hi Paula: Your Sour Cream Pound Cake is the same recipe my 95 year old Mother used for years and years. She would bake several and freeze them and then have one ready for the next funeral. She lived all her life in a small town in Mississippi and her sour cream pound cakes were the best. Thanks for the memories,

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
