Ingredients

Scale

Main Cake:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

For Serving (Optional):

  • Fresh berries, or any fruit
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 4 mini loaf pans (or one regular size loaf pan) with cooking spray.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl or the bowl of the stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and almond extract. Add the baking powder, salt, and flour in two parts, alternating with the sour cream, until the batter is smooth.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes for mini loaves or 50-60 minutes for a full-size loaf, or until a toothpick inserted into the top comes out clean.
  4. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool. Serve slices of the pound cake with fresh berries and whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

  • This pound cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
  • Experiment with different extracts or add-ins to customize the flavor of the pound cake.
