Treasured Recipes

One of the things I cherish most are old family recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation.  I am fortunate enough to have my dad's Sour Cream Pound Cake recipe.

 I remember him making these every year for Christmas to give to family and friends.  Even though my dad "Big John" is gone now, his recipe lives on and I am so happy to be able to share it with you.  This is truly a fantastic pound cake.

One of the things I love is that I have his recipe in his own handwriting.  With today's technology, and the printers that we use, handwritten letters and recipes are becoming a lost art.  I would encourage you to write recipes down for your family and friends, they will be treasures one day!

The smell of this pound cake baking his heavenly.                                     

Although the pound cake recipe is perfect in every way.  I have added my own secret touches through the years.  I like to add 1/2 tsp of "Butter flavoring" it gives the pound cake a nice butter-enriched flavor and I add 1/8 tsp of Lemon flavoring, this is not noticeable, but I think tastes better with it.

Enjoy!
