Valentine’s Day Pound Cake Recipe
Posted on February 14th, 2008 by Corrin
Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate this all important holiday, I continued a family tradition (I’m not sure whose recipe it is, but I should probably find out if I want to make such bold statements) by making mini heart-shaped pound cakes with cream cheese frosting.
It is the best cake ever, super easy to make, and you can decorate them for any holiday, so try it out!
Sour Cream Pound Cake
- 1/2 lb butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4-5 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time, blend in sour cream and vanilla, sift in dry ingredients, and beat entire mixture for 2 minuets. Grease and four pans and bake at 350 degrees until firm to touch.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 2 cups powder sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 tsp food coloring of choice
Beat till smooth, then fight over who gets to lick the bowl.
They were delicious and made my Valentine’s Day special!!
YUM. That looks delicious.
One of my favorites as well, I remember when your mom made them for everyone, thank you for carrying on traditions! YUM YUM!!!
ugh. i want one!
Moo - do you know whose recipe it is?
Yummmy. That sounds like a good tradition to start. Thanks for the happy birthday wish.
Rock on! I am so going to make this soon!
Megs - it is so yummy. The frosting itself could be a treat!
[...] Corrin would like a toaster and likes both plain and sparkling water. Corrin started her new job this week. Congrats Corrin! She’s also got a recipe for mini pound cakes for Valentine’s Day but I’m pretty sure they’d be good any day. [...]
That sounds yummy and they’re sooooo cute!
Thanks, Skeet. It’s the only desert I make that comes out looking cute. The knack must run in the family.
