Patriotic Pound Cake

Three ingredients make a pound cake rich and deliciously moist and that are sour cream, sour cream and sour cream. Yes, no writing errors here!! Sour cream makes a pound cake moist, rich and buttery delicious. Also if it is at room temperature then your recipe will not go wrong ever!!

In-fact, for baking a good moist and lite cake, room temperature ingredients are as important as eggs and butter. As a rule of thumb, take out all refrigerated ingredients like butter, milk, eggs, sour cream at least 2 hours before baking to insure they are at room temperature. If you live in warmer areas, keep'em out for 1 hour.

What if you forget to take'em out? Then follow few baking tricks. Dip eggs in lukewarm water for 20 minutes to bring them to normal temperature. Warm milk or butter in microwave for 5 seconds at a time and then touch to feel the temperature.
