I need a kick ass poundcake recipe, preferably sour cream related. Bonus points if there is lemon and/or blueberries involved.

Pinky has requested some for Sunday dinner this week.

I have a delicious cream cheese one. Let me know if you want the recipe.

Pound Cake

3 sticks butter (1 1/2 cups)
8 ounces cream cheese
3 cups granulated sugar
6 eggs
3 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon rum extract (I usually just use rum)
1/4 teaspoon ground mace

Preheat oven to 300. Grease and flour a tube pan.

Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar in mixer, on medium speed, for 5 minutes.

Alternate adding eggs and flour until just mixed together.

Mix in vanilla extract, almond extract, rum, and mace.

Bake for 90 minutes. Cool 20 minutes in pan, then invert.

Do I need to buy a bundt pan?

[EloiseWeenie]

I use a regular tube pan/angel food cake pan. I've also made it in loaves, but I feel like you get more of the delicious crust in the tube.

I'd pip, but I haven't figured out how to do that in chrome yet.

Ahh, okay thanks! Now that I live in Savannah and understand what awesomeness is to be found in pound cake, I think I'll be needing a tube pan. Plus, this whole Sunday dinner tradition kind of necessitates more dessert making and therefore, more poundcake making.

Pink Lemonade Pound Cake

1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup pink lemonade concentrate
4 drops pink or red food color, optional

bundt pan.

2) Combine the cake mix, lemon pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/2
cup lemon concentrate and the milk. Mix until smooth. Pour the batter
into the prepared pan.

3) Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to 1 hour. If your oven runs hot be
sure to adjust accordingly!

Remove from oven and prick cake all over with a fork. Immediately
pour lemonade glaze over top of cake.

Let cake stand in pan until almost cool.

LEMONADE GLAZE:

2. Sift 2 cups of powdered sugar into a medium size bowl.
3. Add the melted butter to the powdered sugar.

7. Beat until smooth and creamy adding a little more milk if necessary. Drizzle over a cooled cake.
