Pound Cake

 It was our turn to host our family gathering.  What should I make for dessert?  I thought strawberries over pound cake would be seasonal and delicious.  But when I tried to find pound cake to buy, it was very expensive. "I can make it cheaper than that."  So I went searching on the Internet and found this delicious and easy recipe.  



Pound Cake

4 eggs
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tablespoons vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350.  Spray a loaf pan or you can use parchment paper, which is what I did.
In a mixer with a whisk attachment, cream the butter.  Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.  Scrape and beat some more.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between.  Scrape and beat.  '
Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat well.  Add in the dry ingredients and beat until moistened.  Don't overmix.  Transfer batter to the loaf pan.  Smooth the top.  Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes until skewer comes out clean.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes then put out on the cooling rack to finish cooling.  Cut into 12 slices.

It was delicious with macerated cut up strawberries with sugar added and fresh whipped cream on top.
