One Step Pound Cake

By srumbel

While we were in the RV park, one of my sweet neighbors (Thanks Joann!), shared this with me, and asked for one of my favorite recipes to share with her. She said she is always asked for this recipe when she serves it...I love getting recipes like that! This is a simple recipe but tastes rich. Great with coffee or topped with berries.

Ingredients

• 2 sticks (1 cup) butter or margarine, room temperature
• 1 c. sour cream or (plain or fruited) yogurt
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 c. sugar
• (I used 1-3/4 c.)
• 2-1/2 c. all purpose flour

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 1 large and 1 medium bread pan.
You can use a large bundt pan also, but may have some batter left over.

Place all ingredients in a bowl. Mix with hand mixer; batter will be thick.
(I mixed everything but the flour together, then added that last).

Bake 1 hour - begin checking at 50 minutes as it will depend on the size of your pan. Cool 20 minutes; remove from pan to rack to cool. (Check by inserting toothpick in the center, it should come out clean).

Serve dusted lightly with powdered sugar, and/or with berries.

**For marble cake, save about 1 c. batter and add 3 Tb. baking cocoa and 1 Tb. oil; blend well. Top the plain batter with chocolate batter and
swirl lightly. Bake as directed.
