I was really disappointed with this recipe. I make pound cakes a lot, and this one had an odd, unpleasant taste. Even the batter didn't taste good--not a good sign. I followed the recipe exactly but didn't make the butter sauce. The cake was moist and looked good, and I baked it for an hour and 10 minutes in a bundt cake pan. All of the ingredients were fresh, and I used real vanilla. I cut a piece after it was out of the oven for a while, and it didn't taste good. I put it in the refrigerator until the next day and tried a piece then. It still wasn't worth eating, so I put it in the backyard for the squirrels. I can only think that the sour cream was the ingredient that shouldn't have been there, and maybe yogurt or just another cup of butter would have made it taste better/good. I definitely would not make this again and cannot recommend it at all. Expensive backyard feed.
