A traditional pound cake calls for a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour, and nothing more—so thoroughly creaming the butter and sugar and beating the eggs are essential for it to rise. Even the retooled ratio of ingredients in our recipe makes for a seriously dense loaf, but we’ve fluffed it up with baking powder and sour cream. Adding the powder when creaming (versus mixing it into dry ingredients) means it is sure to fully distribute into the batter.
