It's been a while since I shared some of my teacups with you. Will you join me?
Jordan’s girlfriend, Ashlee, works at an assisted living facility. Last winter, one of her residents was selling her teacup collection and Ashlee bought several for me.
Sour Cream Pound Cake
3 Cups Sugar
2 Sticks Butter, softened
6 Large Eggs, divided and beaten
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Tablespoon Vanilla (Yes it is a tablespoon not a teaspoon)
3 Cups All-purpose Flour
¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda
Preheat oven to 300*. Cream sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl. Add egg yolks and mix thoroughly. Mix flour and baking soda in a small bowl. Add to the butter mixture, along with the sour cream and vanilla. Mix well. Fold in beaten egg whites. Bake in a greased and floured tube pan for 1 hour, 45 minutes.
