This is my Aunt Faye's recipe. It's a pound cake, but it's not heavy at all. It's loved by many.

Aunt Faye's Pound Cake ready to be sliced.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A box of butter cake mix makes it easy to whip up Aunt Faye's pound cake. Adding cake flour, sour cream, and extra eggs makes the pound cake taste as if it's from scratch. This pound cake is moist and tender. Adding vanilla, butter, and almond extracts adds a depth of flavor. On top is a lemon glaze that's a tangy and sweet contrast to the rich pound cake.

1 cup sour cream, room temp
1 stick butter, room temp
5 large eggs, room temp

How To Make aunt faye's pound cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a tube pan or Bundt pan generously with Baker's Joy.

Step 2

Mix ingredients for cake together until smooth. Do not overmix.
Step 3

Pour batter into pan. Bake for 55 - 65 minutes until done (use the fork or toothpick test). Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes and invert to a serving dish.
Step 4

While the cake is cooling, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to the desired texture. It is only a glaze, so it should be a thick nectar consistency.
Step 5

Pour glaze over the cake, a little at a time, spreading with the back of a spoon allowing it to soak into the still-warm cake. Serve warm or at room temperature... it doesn't matter!
