How to Make Extra Moist Lemon Sour Cream And Vanilla Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, or spray with baking spray.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 cup sour cream.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons lemon extract, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon. Mix until the batter is light and fluffy.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 60-minute mark.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, drizzle with a lemon glaze (recipe optional) or dust with powdered sugar.
  10. Enjoy your delicious homemade pound cake!
