How To make this Super Easy, No Fail Vanilla Pound Cake. Recipe is listed below and there's a secret ingredient... Sour Cream! I also added cream cheese for good measure 😩😩. You already know it's bomb! You can't add that much decadence to a cake and have it not be good.
If you watched my original pound cake recipe video then you know that it was my grandmother's famous recipe. This one is the result of me trying to answer some of the questions I got in the comments about technique. A lot of you were worried that if you didn't do things perfectly the cake wouldn't turn out right. Don't know how to properly cream butter and sugar? No problem. Not sure when to add the eggs? Got you covered. Want to know what happens if you lower the sugar? I tested it. I tried doing all the things that could mess up this cake and it still turned out beautifully, so when I say no fail... I mean it!

Flour - 3 cups
Eggs - 6

You can bake a pound cake successfully at 325 degrees and that will control the over browning and will make a more moist cake. Most recipes call for 350 degrees which I discovered was a bit to hot. Baking at a lower temp. means it may need to bake longer but your cake will be prettier and more moist.
I started baking it at 335 and that works well for my oven.
Start with cold oven and bake at 325 for one hour in a half.
😮
@@belindajohnson4593that what I'm going to do mines because when I'm baking it's 325 it's still not all the Way done inside in it's brown to Quickly, in I don't want it's to be dried out so I'm going to do it this weekend to see how it's goes ❤
Thank you all for the tips.
I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt really compelled to leave a comment. Y’all, this is truly a NO FAIL recipe. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it. The reason I went with this recipe out of all the other recipes is bcuz I had exact same ingredients indicated in this video and the hand mixer thingy. I don’t cook and I don’t bake, but somehow I found myself watching sour cream cake videos - I had all the ingredients and I was like why the heck not, right? I followed the recipe to the tee-there was a lot of batter and I was starting to worry-I tell ya, mixing all the ingredients was a FULL arm workout. It really made me want a stand mixer. Anyway, baked it at 325 degrees (in the video, she had it at 335 degrees) - first time baking it so I was afraid I was going to burn it cuz gosh, u bake it FOREVER! I didn’t know baking a cake took that long! I baked it for an hour and twenty minutes and OMG! It came out PERFECT!! I would probably put less vanilla extract - in the video, she poured it in there so I did the same, lol! Too much vanilla extract leaves kinda of an after taste? I dunno, I’m thinking I may have put a little too much vanilla extract. I’m so proud of myself! I just had to share my excitement - as u can tell, I’m super excited and I can’t contain it! Thank u for sharing this recipe!
Lol, I'm so happy it worked out for you. Extracts are always optional and the amounts are to your taste. 😊
Did you let the sour cream get to room temperature too
For something a little different try making a powdered sugar & milk glazing with just a little bit of vanilla & drizzling it over the top & drip down the sides as a little topping surprise...Or even adding a little softened cream cheese to the glaze making sure it is thin enough to pour a drizzle over the top & sides of cake ....( can even add a little food coloring to the glaze for contrast & to make it more interesting looking ).... 👍👋👋👋
@@arthurwalls9091
I made the glaze using lemon zest, and a little juice from the lemon, and it was delicious.
Made this cake today using your southern pound cake recipe and substituting milk with sour cream. Another winner! I'm following all of your cake recipes from now on. I can't lose and the compliments are endless!
I'm so glad your cakes turned out good!
I made this Cake soooooooo delicious Mmmmmm.....I use 1and 1/2C. of flour and 1and1/2 C. of almond flour....1and1/2C of sugar and 1C of Monkfruit sweetener ..VERY DELICIOUS!
I'm so glad it worked even with healthier substitutions. That's great to know.
Listen to me 🤗 I tried this version today & let me tell you how this is now my new way of making my cream cheese pound cake 😋 dddeeeelicious & sssssoooooo soft & sssssoooooo moist! I love love love this version! 🥰
Right! When I made it I was like hold on... This is a game changer. Lol
Omg! I know I’m late to the party. But Babay, I made this cake today and when I say this cake is it, that’s exactly what I mean. This cake is sooo good! This will be my go to cake from now on! Thank you😊
👋🏽 I made it last night its very good yes the butter shines💫 its flavor also I used Almond and Vanilla. I think both the cakes hold there own in flavor but this one has a better texture due to the extra butter.
For personal preference I agree, but I think both have their place. If you need a more dense cake (which sometimes you do) the other one is better. And I think the other one is a more traditional pound cake but this one is my favorite. Lol
My 8yr old wanted to bake a pound cake, so we took a chance and followed your recipe and video (and added a little almond extract and an extra 1/4 cup of sugar) and it came out PERFECT!!!! Everybody loved it. Thank you so much :)
You're so welcome! I'm glad it turned out great for you!
Deer
This’s cake baked so high and pretty! I did cream the butter and cream cheese for 5 min and added one egg at a time. I was scared sorry. I also added almond rum and lemon extract.This cake is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
Lol I just wanted to see what would happen if I didn't but we know the "correct" way is to add one egg at a time. I'm glad your cake turned out beautifully abd I already know it's delicious. 😋
I'm glad to hear you creamed the butter and sugar for 5min. I'm trying it tonight.
This recipe is awesome I tried it!😊 also I tweaked it with 4oz cream cheese 4oz sour cream 3 sticks of butter 1/3 cup of butter flavor crisco.. oh man it's amazing please try it!😊❤
OMG!!! I just made this. I made 2 mistakes. I only use 3 sticks of butter and 3 cups of sugar and I forgot about the cream cheese. I was wondering why it was still on my counter BUT this is the BEST pound cake I've ever made. I already called my neighbor to share. Thank you. The crust is off the chain too!!. It is so moist!! Again 😊
Lol, so glad you like it!
Andrea...I was wondering, why it was still on my table. LOL!
Thanks for sharing that recipe that cake was great they got going in 2 days thanks for sharing I'm from Cayce South Carolina
Hello Danielle, it looks yummy! I have that cake pan too and I use wax paper in the bottom of it. I take the tube part out and line the bottom with wax paper never lose any cake batter 🙌🏾💯%
Thank you!
After making your delicious Southern pound cake I subscribed. I love your teaching style. Thanks again
You're welcome! Thanks for deciding to hang around. 💕💜
This cake was the first time I’ve made a pound cake!!! OH MY STARS!!! This cake was the BOMB!!! I shared it with other people and they devoured it! I tried another recipe but it wasn’t as good as this one! I was looking for the recipe and am so glad I found it!!!
I'm so glad you liked it!
@@DanielleLaShawn I’m making another one today!!! The best cake ever

Where can I find the recipe please
@@annemariewhite1575 the picture at the top of the message, click on that and it should take you to the video. Hope this helps.
Looks so good!! I am going to add some chopped apples and cinnamon to middle. Add the rest of batter and bake. I love this versatile recipe. Thank you.
You're so welcome! I think apples in the middle would be bomb. I love apple cake, and apple pie, and apple fritters... I could go on 😂
My wife makes the best pound cakes in the world imo. I excited to see your recipe.
I wonder if my husband says the same about me? 🤔😂
Hello friend, I am a new viewer to your channel, and this cake was off the chain. I made it this morning, it was full of flavor and moist. I do think I would try it next time with less sugar because I am diabetic, but in terms of flavor and texture, you got it right. Can't wait to see what you do next , all the best.
So happy to hear that it worked out for you. You can definitely lower the amount of sugar. You could probably also use a 1:1 sugar substitute for at least half of the sugar.
Yeah, too much sugar for me, is why I give half or more away!
Thank you so much, Danielle. I'll try this Saturday.
I hope you love it!
I’ve been looking for a recipe with cream cheese and sour cream together. I can’t wait to make this!
Let me know how u like it!
@@DanielleLaShawn the absolute best pound cake I have ever had in my entire life 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great job! When with , the general rule is to lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees. metal and sheets absorb the oven's radiant heat quicker than, say, aluminum . Because the heat is absorbed quicker, the exterior (top, edges and bottom) of the baked good brown .
Got d to know. Thanks!
I have been baking pound cakes for years, but just recently started baking them again with my daughter. Somehow they are just a little bit dry to me. But this combination seems like it is the perfect combination. Thanks 😀
You're welcome! To avoid making it dry, just bake it for less time and/or at a lower temperature.
I made your original recipe. I use vanilla and cake batter extract. Sometimes I only use cake batter extract and it comes out great. I bake pound cakes on 325 for 75 minutes. Thanks for the recipe.
You're welcome!
I just want to thank you because some people just don’t have a KitchenAid mixer I have a hand mixer thank you again God bless you
I don't own a KitchenAid or any stand mixer either. My hand mixer works just fine. It was $12. Lol
@@DanielleLaShawn Yes I have a handmixer
This was perfect, I used a half a stick of crisco for the the extra butter and adjusted my oven rack to the second level and baked it at 350 for 1hour twenty minutes it was perfectly delicious
Yeah, I think I might like this version better than the original recipe.
Hi love your video and how U tried out both creams together the crumb was very good great going
Thank you! 💕
I love your video and I also love experimenting. I will definitely try your version of pound cake here. Thank you, this looks so yummy....😊👋👋
Let me know how you like it!
Today will be maybe my forth time baking this cake. And everytime , this cake turned out awesome with lots of flavor. My family loves it. Thank you again & again Danielle. 😋
You're welcome! Glad you like it!
May 2024 I am very late to this party, but glad I viewed it. The possibilities are endless as Danielle said. I like the idea of reducing the sugar. Maybe even reduce the butter too back to 3 sticks? What about using a combo for the liquid (two at the most) - cream cheese, sour cream, milk, buttermilk, or heavy cream?
Yes! All those ideas would work.
Making this tonight to go with my peaches/peach schnapps/whipping cream topper....can't wait!
Danielle, I will try this cake and will let you know. It look very moist and delicious 😋.👍🏾🙏🏽
Good morning thanks so much for your video!I'm about to attempt to make your cake,many blessings,I'll let you know if it come out as perfect as yours🤗
Yes, let me know!
@@DanielleLaShawn I had a regular bunt pan and the batter spilled over as it backed but the cake was good and very moist. I waited over 30 minutes and attempted to remove it from the pan and ended up breaking it. It still was good though.
Hello 👋 I came across your live for making a Pound Cake. One of my favorite. Did you use salted or unsalted butter.? I always say I'm going to bake one then chicken out.😄 Thanks
😂😂 It's not as scary as it looks. I always use salted butter.
I’m making another one of your pound cakes. This will be my second one the first turned out great but a little to swee. Now I’m going to also use vanilla and almond. Something about that almond gives out a great after taste. Thank you again for another recipe. Hope to give you and update soon.
Thanks for trusting me enough to use your ingredients, as expensive as they are these days. Lol I hope it turned out great!
New subscriber. I’m going to try this one.
Weird method but it worked. Cake like delicious. Thanks for sharing.
I didn't realize it was weird at first, but I can see why people think that. LOL
Your cake look fantastic, and i use oil instead of butter. How many cups is your butter please let me know thanks alot. ❤❤
I need to know if the butter is salted, do you need to add salt?
I always use salted butter and add salt. There's so much sugar that you need the salt to balance it.
Sis did you ever try adding applesauce to substitute for the eggs? Applesauce makes the baking goods very moist too!
Thank you for your for sharing grandma's recipes!😊
I've tried it in other recipes when called for but never in a pound cake. It'd be interesting to see if that would work.
@@DanielleLaShawn I use applesauce in my vegan cakes and pancakes and it is amazing!!
I am going to try your recipes minus the eggs. I also use coconut milk and oat milk. Your cakes look so delicious and I can't wait to try it.
Love your tutorials!! Good job!👏🏾
How much applesauce?
@@mor6279 1/4 cup per egg.
@@adrianehill8291
Thank you!
😋😋 wow look at that crumb! I'm definitely trying this my family loved the last cake we love pound cake.
The flavor and texture of this cake were everything.
I wish i could post a picture, but this cake was delicious and turned out a beautiful golden brown. My oven runs a little hotter, so i baked it at 300 degrees! Thanks for experimenting and sharing!
These days, I feel like it does better at a bit of a lower temperature. So happy you liked it! 😊
I love a good pound cake! Thank you for sharing with less sugar! I have the same cake pan and we want the bowl for the batter as children! Now my daughter loves the batter as well as the cake! 👍🏾
Lol my kids love the batter too.
I made this for Christmas and it did not last. I had to make another one for New Year. Everyone was saying how good it tasted. It was soooo good, better than the pound cake. Thank you for this recipe
Lol, it never lasts. Glad you all enjoyed it. 😋☺️
Great job Danielle, I will be making this cake. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Let me know how you like it.
@@DanielleLaShawn will do
beautiful recipe I've made the other recipe and my family loved it I going to making another today actually 🤣☠️💯🥰🥰🥰🥰Hello can I use bread flour if I don't have all purpose flour?
I'm not sure if bread flour will work. Bread is tougher than cake.
I followed your steps and this is the best pound cake I have ever made! My family loved it.
So happy it worked out for you!
Danielle girl I baked this cake for Thanksgiving ❤And baby cakes I got a man to propose to me ❤🎉🎉🎉yeah 🎉🎉🎉🎉Thank you for sharing your love of pound cakes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG!! Congratulations! I wish you all a happy life together.
I will sure try this one for Thanksgiving. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving ❤😊
Happy Thanksgiving!
Definitely looks yummy...but for a suggestion maybe you would want to add the flavorings in after you beat the eggs so that you don't have streaks in the cake
I normally make it with the powdered sugar, like my mom did, however, i may try this recipe. Both have a lot of sugar though.
I'm going to try it out tomorrow 😃🤠 🎂 looks amazing today ocie thanks for your time 😊💯 ocie
You're going to looooove it! Lol
I made this cake the way you said but it came out very moist but I will use 3 sticks of butter I will make it again thanks for sharing
No problem!
I've ALWAYS used 325°. 3 sticks butter, cream cheese and sour cream. Never have used milk. 6 eggs, and I like apf not cake flour. Also 1 teaspoon baking powder. Cream butter,cream cheese and sour cream and 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Then the eggs 1 at a time. Always a successful cake
How much cream cheese
8 oz total of sour cream and cream cheese. But MOST of the time I use EITHER /OR. DON'T OVER beat once you start adding flour. Also I prefer a hand mixer! Stand mixer has bigger chance of over beating. Good luck😋
My recipe too! Been doing it this may for over 40 years.
I like this cake recipe. Thank you!
You're welcome!
It looks delicious 😋 I will try it. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I love how u showed step by step will try it tomorrow sat
Let me know how it turns out!
Made this delicious cake it was awesome thanks 😊
Glad it came out good!
It looks very good… and not crumbled… I will try this!
Hope you like it!
@Danyelle LaShawn... yes I use 3.5 Sticks in my pound cakes sometimes 4 sticks lol.. I'm such a butter girl in my opinion butter is key ingredient to making a GOOD CAKE 🎂
Lol she would always do 3 or 4 but there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it
The best part for me is the crunchy crust..looks very good!! I think I would like this version better than the traditional recipe since milk doesn't agree with me at all!!🤤🤤🤤😍😍
This might be my favorite. It reminded me of Sara Lee pound cake. So good.
What temperature should a pound cake be baked at
@@DanielleLaShawn what degree should a pound cake be baked

I'm definitely going to try this Recipe. But I have a question. Can I use cake flour instead of all purpose flour????
Yes, absolutely. My grandmother used Swans Down cake flour more often than not. I use regular AP flour every time though and my cakes turn out just as good, so while it's not necessary you can use it.
@@DanielleLaShawn awesome thanks for the quick response. I'm headed to the kitchen right now.
Let me know how it turns out!
@@DanielleLaShawn... That's me too...I don't know if it's that I'm more comfortable with the AP flour (my preference here lately is White Lily) or what. When I first used it, I thought I'd done something wrong cuz my pound cake was NOT dense, it was soft. And I mean, it was falling apart soft, wouldn't hold up for nothing! Flavor was still on point, but that softness did not make me happy! But the more I used it, the more I started to like it. Now, when I'm looking for recipes, I'll snub the ones that use cake flour & look specifically for the ones using all-purpose flour instead. I may give this a try though 'cuz my fave combo is cream cheese & sour cream (just haven't been too sure of how much of each to use; your half-each just might work tho) 😉
Look good
Please tell me me how I can get all the recipe and instructions to make your easy vanilla pound cake above!!! Thank you

I make its very delicious 😍👍🏻 but I want half the amount of the cake recipe
Please make a Hershey's chocolate pound cake with a chocolate glaze & a Pineapple rum pound cake with a thick pineapple glaze? Your videos are very easy to follow. The cakes are better than bakery cakes.
Hi, Im gonna follow your recipe and make my first pound cake, but my question is which type flour do I use? thanks and can't wait to try it this week !!
I used All Purpose flour but cake flour works too!
Delicious cake
Definitely delicious! 😋
Look Delicious I will Definitely Try it
Hope you enjoy it when you do!
Looks delicious
You can also use lemon zest to give it that lemon flavor.
I need to make that. Can you use unsalted butter.
Yes, you can definitely use unsalted
Danielle LaShawm, Do u suppose to add baking soda?
No. Just baking powder
I will make this cake to day.
Let me know what u think
Yeeesss...I'm making that cake 🎂...I love the butter 🧈 😋
Yesss! Come back and let me know how u like it.

Looks DELICIOUS!
Can I substitute the cream cheese and sour cream with Greek yogurt? And how much would I need to put it? Making it tomorrow
I've never tried Greek yogurt but any dairy products should work fine. You want 1 cup total between the two so you could do 1/2 cup of each, or 1/3 and 2/3, or any other combination.
Looks good will be trying it out😋
It's a must try 😋🥰
Hi, did you use all purpose flour for this recipe? I want to try.
Yes, I used normal AP flour
@@DanielleLaShawn thanks
Is the recipe written somewhere? Thanks
Yes, in the description box.
☺️. The struggle cake for me turned out perfect because I’ve been slippin lol 🗣🗣Hard 😂😂 but
Butttt how do you get the crunchy top....I have not gotten that either time lol
I didn't get a crunchy top on this cake because it's softer than my standard pound cake recipe. This is more like the Sarah Lee pound cake. If you want a crunchy crust use the southern all butter pound cake recipe fr my channel.
I have cake flour. Would I need to add baking powder to the batter still?
Yes. I don't believe cake flower has leavening ingredients.
