    Augusta National shared their recipe in my beloved, stain-ridden pages of Augusta Junior League cookbook, “Tea-Time at the Masters.”.  Growing up in Augusta, this was the first cookbook I owned and still holds to be one of my favorites in my collection.

     The cake is easy to take to church suppers and picnics or to wrap up and give as a gift.  The best part is, it is so  easy to make even the novelist baker can whip this up and have a perfect pound cake with just a  few simple ingredients.

    How to serve poundcake

    You can dress this cake up if you would like with sliced strawberry and whip cream or a tart lemony glaze. However, I like mine as a simple cake bringing back my memories of a slice at home during a warm summer's evening.

    One of the nicest parts about baking this sour cream pound cake is there's more than enough to share.  It's a perfect time to show southern hospitality, invite a friend over for a slice and some sweet conversation.

      I’m thinking of adding lemon and/or almond extract. How much would you suggest?

        almond extract is great in this. I would do 1 teaspoon. Let me know how you like it.

          I did a teaspoon mix of both almond and lemon extract. Very good

        I read sour cream as 16 ounces. I believe it should be 1 (one) 6 ounce container. Is that correct? I want to try again tomorrow. Thanks.

          I was wondering the same thing. I’m about to try for a Masters get together tomorrow. Would be nice to know. I’ll compare to other recipes but I’m guessing 3/4 cup.

          I just checked the recipe in my Tea-Time At The Masters cookbook. I made a mistake. It should read 1 - 8oz container of sour cream. I just fixed the recipe in the post. Thank you so much for pointing this out! I appreciate it.
