I Found It! I found my recipe for my Sour Cream Pound Cake on another computer. Woo Hoo! I am going to use this to make little Lego cakes for the twins birthday next month. Trying it out anyway. This recipe is like the one my sweet Grandma would make. She sold her cakes at the curb market. Oh, how I miss her. And worse, it hurts that my boys were never able to meet such a beautiful lady. Now, I’m off to make new memories.
This recipe is old. The bundt pans today are a lot smaller than the ones of years gone by. You may need to use a loaf pan along with a bundt pan if your pan looks too full.
