How to Make Sour Cream And Lemon Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 16-cup tube pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups cake flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Zest and juice 2 large lemons. Add the lemon zest and 1/2 cup of the lemon juice to the batter. Mix well.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup sour cream until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
