Fresh Blueberry Sour Cream Pound Cake

By srumbel

Some of my berries were lucky enough to find their way into this buttery pound cake that is currently tempting me from the confines of its cake dome. Those beautiful bursts of blue make each slice of it just as hard to resist as the berries themselves. I'm taking it to my Mom's tomorrow for Sunday dinner- hope I can wait!

Ingredients

• 6 eggs, separated (room temperature)
• 1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 teaspoon butter flavoring
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 8 oz. (1 cup) sour cream
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (may use frozen- do not thaw!)

Preparation

Step 1

. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add extracts and butter flavoring.

2. Combine flour and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition.

3. In a separate bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on high until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter. Fold blueberries into batter.

4. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 350F for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan to a rack to cool completely.
