Thanks Joseph! This sounds divine....can't wait til I try this one

Any type of sour cream recommended? Fat free, light or full fat? One last silly question - can you make pound cake with margarine instead of butter? *ducks*

[Josephhgoins]

I have made it with Margarine before, but you have to get good margarine with a high oil content. Land o Lakes is a good one Ms. Filberts and blue bonnet is not. Butter will of course make a much better crust.

I only use the full fat sour cream, but I bet the lower fat would work. If you try it let me know.

Sounds wonderful, even for the waistline.

I made this a couple of weeks ago. I used margarine (Becel salt free) instead of butter, I didn't use cake flour but just 2tbsp less/cup of all purpose flour and instead of the 1tsp of vanilla, I used 3 tsp of lemon extract.

Personally I think it was too much sugar - I felt a jolt - but I'm not one to eat a lot of sugary baked goods often. DF liked it as it was I think I will attempt this again but using Splenda and more lemon extract with zest to kick up that flavour.

The sour cream made the cake so moist and dense - I love that aspect. I also just mixed it by hand, no hand blender either

Great recipe Joseph!

Sounds delish! will have to try it.

Won't have to worry about putting the pan on a cookie sheet....I boiled a pie over about a month ago.. and haven't cleaned it yet. (well, cleaned one)

Will put the oven rack out in garden across some weeds and spray with Easy Off........best weed killer there is!

This would be fabulous with some fresh berries and homemade whipped cream!!

And FF, thanks for the tip about the Easy Off!
