Let Them Eat Cake!

Hi everyone! Colleen here! Those of you who know me, know I have this thing for cupcakes. I say "thing." It really is an obsession. Some would say a sickness. I say love. To me, the cupcake is the perfect snack. It's portable, sweet, and it can substitute for a sandwich in a pinch. See!One of my most favorite recipes comes from my mom. It's actually her Sour Cream Poundcake in Cupcake form, but I won't tell if you won't. We have this cake for every celebration, get together, birthday, anniversary, and just because reason we can think of. It really is the perfect cake. So, I thought I'd share it with you. Good things like this shouldn't be a secret...
Laurie's Famous Sour Cream Poundcake

1 box Duncan Hines Butter Recipe yellow cake mix
1 cup all purpose flour
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
8 oz sour cream
1 cup milk
1 stick margarine

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Mix ingredients in mixer and mix until smooth. You will get a pretty heavy batter. Bake in a greased and floured bundt pan (see below for more options) for one hour or until done.

Some tips:

The cake mix must be Butter Recipe cake mix or it won't come out as moist or yummy. You can also mix it up and do chocolate Butter Recipe cake mix. We've done that before and it was amazing. I've heard they also have a lemon Butter Recipe. That would be good too. Just as long as it is Butter Recipe, you are good to go.

You can also lighten this pretty well. I use fat free sour cream, fat free milk, and an egg substitute and it still tastes delicious.

If you don't have a bundt pan, don't worry...You can do this in 2 loaf pans or in cupcake pans. We've even done it as a wedding cake. Just adjust cooking time accordingly. The cake also freezes very well (something we learned when we made it as a wedding cake) and we usually have a loaf of it in the freezer ready and waiting for the day we feel like eating cake.

Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar, or with whipped cream and fruit (Mom likes to add festive seasonal sprinkles.) It frosts very well, but don't use a Whipped frosting. Use a regular frosting due to the density of the cake.

The opportunities are endless.
I hope you enjoy it!
