Recipe - Sour Cream Pound Cake

January 2nd, 2008

I always loved when Mom made this Sour Cream Pound Cake. The crust is delightful. I finally made my first try of this earlier this year. I used a stoneware bundt pan and that was a mistake. The cake came out, sans crust. So I had to scrape it out to eat it. So was it really a mistake? :)

I’ve had my best luck making this in a standard loaf pan.

Recipe - Mom’s Fruitcake

December 24th, 2007

It is unfortunate that fruit cake has gotten a bad name. It is the brick hard gift that keeps re-gifting. The typical insults about fruit cake are true with most store bought fruit cake. I love my mom’s fruitcake. She purchases her own fruit, with exception of the orange peel that she candies herself.

My mom see recipes as suggestions. She will read various similar recipes, then throw them away and make something. Here is a good example of a recipe she came up with that eliminates some allergens those in my family had at one time.
