This vanilla pound cake recipe has been my back pocket recipe for years and I know it will be yours too! This buttery pound cake recipe makes the most amazing loaf cake with an incredibly lush, tight crumb, and can be made days in advance. Leave it plain or finish it with a glaze, everyone will love this super easy recipe! Adding sour cream to the recipe gives the cake moisture without adding density for the most tender crumb. Read my full guide for how to scale the recipe for pan size, and how to get that perfect split down the top of the cake!
