Cranberry-Sour Cream Pound Cake #TheCakeSliceBakers

     

November has been flying by in front of my eyes. To be honest I was going to skip this months Cake Slice bake. Somehow I managed to whip this up while my pizza baked last Friday night. A few substitutions had to be made due to it being last minute.


I had exactly enough flour to make 1/2 the recipe, but no fresh cranberries or sour cream. I soaked dried cranberries in orange juice, then drained. I also substituted the sour cream for greek yogurt. The batter was rich and delicious! Although these turned out quite tasty, I do feel they were overly sweet. Americas test kitchen knew this, and recommended the fresh cranberries and sour cream to cut through the richness. I always try my best to make the recipes just as is, to give it a fair chance. Then if something is not to my liking then I make adjustments the next time around. Despite the sweetness these flew off the cooling rack pretty quickly.
