Comfort food.
That one dish that transports you.
The one meal that can seem to make all of your problems disappear.
The one recipe that can take you out of your kitchen and put you back around that wooden table with the mismatched chairs and the counters full of food. The taste that takes you back to sharing a Sunday Supper with your aunts and uncles and cousins.
It's truly amazing what a piece of cake can do. It can take me back to her. Back to the house at the end of the longest driveway in the world. The house that no one ever used the front door because the back one was always open. Back to a bowl full of Andes Mints on the entry table and nesting dolls that I could play with for hours.
Even though I don't remember much in regards to her cooking; I do remember her pound cake. The moist sweet cake with ribbons of sour cream and the golden brown crust that I always saved for last.
The cake that will always give us one last #SundaySupper together.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! Wonderful photos and memories you shared. I love how your comfort food is one of your family's recipes. Perfect for Sunday Supper.
ReplyDeleteThis is the ultimate plain cake, but so good! Houses where the back or kitchen door is used more than the main entrance will always remind me of comfort food!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! A slice of this gorgeous pound cake with a dollop of cream and berries would transport me for sure! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for pound cake. i love to make one and then use it for strawberry shortcake, with ice cream, or drizzle chocolate over top of it-yours sounds incredible with the sour cream in it!
ReplyDeleteI always loved sour cream pound cake topped with strawberries and whipped cream when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteStrawberries & whipped cream would be an excellent addition! Thanks so much for stopping by!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the wonderful photos and memories. It makes me appreciate this delicious cake even more. You can never go wrong with pound cake or sour cream in baked goods. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love that you shared your grandmother's recipe! This cake looks amazing! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the memories! My grandma is a terrible cook however she made these amazing cookies that I will always remember. It is her one closely guarded secret that she did finally give me but asked that I never blog about, which by the way is torture because seriously, the world needs these cookies. I love pound cake but my husband often finds it too dull for his taste, but I bet he would change his mind with this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI did debate sharing the recipe since it is the one & only recipe I have from her but I knew as soon as we were doing comfort food for #SundaySupper that I wouldn't be able to blog about any other recipe!
DeleteAnd since you can't share the recipe for the cookies, you're welcome to just send me a plate of them to taste test!! ;)
Great recipe, and wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeletethis looks amazing! i'm pinning it now :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ang! :)
Deleteaw man, can't pin? :(
ReplyDeleteWHAT??? No, don't tell me that!! You should be able to pin it from the 'pin it' button at the very bottom of the post. Let me know if that works!
DeleteI love the old pictures!! Great recipe too :) thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww.... love the nostalgia behind this recipe! <3 Pinned it, dear! But I used the Pin It button on my toolbar to do it. ;)
ReplyDeleteawww I love the pictures Great recipe too!

DeleteI wish I had an occasion with enough people to justify a pound cake... *sigh*!

Always wanted to make pound cake at home and this seems like a great recipe. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI love making pound cake. This looks great, and the story behind it makes it even better. So glad to have you along at Must Try Monday this week !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! Love the vintage pictures too. Thanks for sharing such a special recipe!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever made pound cake, yet it's SO good! Your recipe looks really tasty. My grandmother's old wooden kitchen table had years of vinyl tablecloths plastered to it ... not sure why they didn't just replace the old ones rather than piling them on, but it was the funniest thing to us kids!
ReplyDeleteLol, its so funny what you remember! I love that about the tablecloths at your grandmothers! Thanks so much for stopping by & sharing :)
DeleteThis is almost the exact same recipe I grew up with made by my grandmother and it's always been my favorite cake EVER!!! Ours has shortening rather than butter but I'm sure this is amazing too! Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteOohhh, I've never thought to try it with shortening instead of butter! I may have to give it a try! Thanks so much for stopping by Lynn!!
DeleteSour cream always takes a recipe like pound cake and adds a richness taking it to a whole new level of yumminess!Thanks for sharing this at the Wicked Good Wednesday Blog Party at http://www.wildernesswife.com
