Sour Cream Pound Cake

Moist and delicious - Eat it with strawberries and ice cream for dessert and toasted with butter for breakfast.

My mother made this pound cake for us a lot and it never lasted long. It is so versital in flavor because you can chose to use almond, vanilla or lemon extract. When my mother used lemon extract, she used 1 tsp lemon extract and 1 tsp almond extract.
