From the Kitchen of Ferlita

DESSERTS
Lillian Smith Sour Cream Pound Cake
Whenever my mom made this Pound Cake I always thought is was better than any store bought cake. My mom was given this recipe from her sister-in-law Florence Ferlita Saporito in the 1950's, but we are unsure who Lillian Smith was. But when my daughter's school asked the kids to make desserts for Grandparent's Day, this old recipe came to mind and brought back pleasant childhood memories. Hope you and your family will also enjoy it's great taste. We have always baked in in a Bundt type pan
