Made this yesterday. Doubled the ingedients and used my largest loaf pan. Wasn't large enought to hold all the batter. Against my better judgrment, I filled it to the top...big mistake! It overflowed onto the bottom of the oven but luckily I had a liner! I cooked it 60 minutes at 350..wasn't done so continued cooking, had to cover it with foil so the outside wouldn't burn.....next time, I won't double the ingredients.

This pound cake is delicious! I can't wait to try it with almond extract instead of vanilla extract. I used the extra to make 6 cup cakes and half are already gone while the cake is cooling. It is very light and moist as opposed to store bought. Yummy!

I did leave a message earlier....BROUGHT THIS OVER TO MY MOTHER'S TODAY! AWESOME! I have tried a couple of baked goods recipes and have come up unsuccessful. I made Paula's Mama's Pound Cake and now this Sour Cream Pound Cake and they turned out to be SPOT ON! I am only making Paula Deen Recipes! Always loved my Paula....I even used my Butter Y'All Spatula! Thank you Paula! Made me look good - perfect memorial day celebration!

This recipe still has incorrect measurement for butter. Should be 1 stick, not 1 cup.

Please note that the Grandmother Paul's Sour Cream Pound Cake recipe is this recipe, doubled, except for the butter, (and the small addition of salt and almond extract).  This makes no sense. An extra stick of butter is a big difference in a pound cake. Looks like another reader noticed this as well, but the recipe has not been changed.

Incorrect measurements

Cooked this and after almost two hours it still was not done all the way 



Looked at comments and the cake falling or taking longer is common comments.



If I look at this

They say 1 sick of butter, this says a pound.  Will try again with the other recipe.  Think the lower reviews are based on the measurement issue.

These are the wrong measurements. Should be a stick of butter, not a cup.
