Adriana, I’m sorry your pound cake did not turn out the way you would have liked. I have made every single recipe posted on this blog…everything. I guess I’ll have to make this recipe again to prove to
you that it turned out fine for me. I am sorry your cake did not turn out, but you have to follow each and every thing I said. Room temp on the ingredients, adding the soda to the sour cream, sifting the flour 3 to 4 times, oven temp, type of flour you use and so forth. I can’t be in your kitchen with youio to see what the problem was. I would never post a recipe here without making it first myself. I checked my hand-written recipe and it calls for 3 cups of sugar. I don’t know what else to say but I think it’s wrong for you to assume I just post recipes without trying them first myself. Again, I’m sorry and I’ll make this pound cake again soon. I’m having hand surgery on this Friday so I’ll have to make it tomorrow before the surgery. Again…so sorry it didn’t turn out for you. 😦

Thanks Rosseta, I will try it again but I’m pretty sure I followed all the steps right. Maybe it was too much sugar for me… It was too sweet but the consistency u think it was the right.
