"Recipe by Chef Keith F. Muller. There's many different recipes for this kind of cake, the real pound cake is traditionally made with a pound of each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. Hence, any cake made with a 1:1:1:1 ratio of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar is called a pound cake, Chef Muller's version substitutes sour cream for some of the butter and produces a more moister cake with a delicious tangy flavor! Serve sliced with fresh fruit and cream.. YUM! For chocolate pound cake substitute 1/3 of the flour with cocoa powder"
