Just like your favorite cookbook that you seem to always find yourself pulling off the shelf for inspiration, a trustworthy recipe website is just as valuable.  One of my go-to websites for baked goods is Taste of Home (www.TasteofHome.com).  The recipes are tested very well it seems because every dessert I have made from the site quickly becomes a favorite of ours or my clients!

With extra sour cream on hand, I gravitated towards this easy-to-bake sour cream pound cake recipe. A perfect recipe to make and share with friends this Holiday season, the ingredients couldn’t be more basic, with results that are moist and oh-so-scrumptious. Basically, you cream unsalted butter with sugar, and then add in your dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) while alternating in sour cream and vanilla. I decided to stir in some chopped pecans into the batter as well, but I think this cake could easily be flavored with almond extract, rose water, orange blossom water or even a touch of lemon extract.
