Cranberry Sour Cream Pound Cake

What a better way to kick off November than with some cranberries?

Cranberries and cake. Pound cake to be exact.

I made this a few weeks ago and probably should of doubled the recipe. One pound cake does not go very far around here.

Cranberries

Oh, let’s face it! Cake of any variety does not last long at my house. We are cake people. But, look at this cake..can you blame us?

This is a soft, buttery, moist pound cake filled with sweet cranberries. It was divine!

Have a slice.

Hi! I would love to try this recipe but was curious if anyone had made a gluten-free version of it? Thanks!

This was delicious! I did add a full cup of fresh cranberries (and may add more next time -- 1/2 c would have been way too skimpy!) and subbed plain Greek yogurt (nonfat) for the sour cream. I will definitely make this again!

The cranberry and lemon taste so yummy together. This is now my favorite pound cake recipe! I use dried cranberries and soak them in lemon juice to plump up.

Wow! Awesome loaf! Moist and sour creamy. I used 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup stevia. Perfect!
