Summer is almost here & I'm sharing a fabulous recipe for a delicious pound cake that will go perfectly with any kind of party, celebration or Summertime BBQ you have coming up.
This cake is a Quigley family tradition that seems to show up at family get togethers & celebrations. Miss Mace has had this as her birthday cake for I don't know how many years. She loves it! Just too perfect for a Summertime birthday when it some with her favorite fruit {strawberries} stuffed in the center.

From the looks of things I guess I like to have a lot of color in my kitchen. My latest Collection/Obsession sends me over the moon, all those colors. Scored the yellow one at an Estate Sale the other day.

-------* Sour Cream Pound Cake *-------
Place in mixer & cream together:
1 C. Butter {softened}
2 3/4 C. Sugar
Add eggs into sugar mixture one at a time then add vanilla.
6 Eggs
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
Add soda & salt into the mixture. Next add, alternating between the two, the flour & sour cream until all is added to the mixture.
1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
3 C. Flour, sifted
1 C. Sour Cream
Bake in a well greased & floured bundt pan at 350 degrees. For 55-70 minutes, depending on your oven. Set timer for 55 minutes & then check, with a cake tester, the middle of the cake to see if it is done.

Whenever I make this cake I serve it up the very same every time! It's so simple & sweet. Lightly dust the top with powdered sugar then place plump, gorgeous ripe Strawberries in the center, serve with a dollop of whip cream on the side {this is a must!} & dig in. You can serve it with ice cream, of coarse, but we prefer whip cream in this house.
Look how yellow & light this cake is. The cake is so good on the inside & out. Our favorite part to eat is the crust & crumbs, delicious!

If you're serving the pound cake for a birthday or celebration of some sort, add a vertical cake topper to send this delicious thing over the top. Super easy to make using this & that's that you already have around the house.
We've all seen the banners that go across the cake but this is a new twist that takes the mini banners to new heights! I love the way they turned out. I just used skewers then added ribbons, stickers & paper scraps to create the toppers. Easy! Add some handwritten messages if you want & you're good to go. A simple charming detail that makes a big statement.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of the fabulous party ideas of the blog hop. These ladies always share some amazing stuff.
