Sour Cream Pound Cake

I emailed this to a friend tonight and decided it needed a place on the ole blog. My Mom makes this a lot. As the note on the recipe I have says (from Mom), "I am famous for this cake." So funny! But, it is seriously delicious and beautiful. All things a good pound cake should be.

2 1/2 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 cups flour, sifted
1/4 tsp soda
1 8-oz sour cream (or buttermilk or sour milk)

Cream butter; gradually add sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine flour and soda; add to creamed mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix well.
