Potluck #51 Holidays and Cooking and Recipes - Oh My!

I love Paula Deen's southern style cooking. I've tried another one of her pound cake recipes. It's sooo good. I decided to convert this new one I've found from her on the Food Network web site. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paulas-party/sour-cream-pound-cake-recipe/index.html

The original recipe is as follows:

Sour Cream Pound Cake
Recipe courtesy of Paula Deen, 2008

Ingredients
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the sour cream and mix until incorporated. Sift the baking soda and flour together. Add to the creamed mixture alternating with eggs, beating in each egg 1 at a time. Add vanilla.
Pour the mixture into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Yield
6 to 8 servings

My downward conversion of Paula's recipe is as follows:

1/2 stick butter, room temperature
3/4 cup or 6 ounces of sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup or 6 ounces of all-purpose flour
1 1/2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

I plan to test this recipe this weekend. I will then post an approximate bake time. The recipe should serve 3 to 4 people. Please note: I usually add 2-3 times more vanilla extract than recommended in recipes. The flavor is so much richer.
