Here's the recipe (finally!)

2 1/2 to 3 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
Optional (for a lemon flavored cake):
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp lemon rind

Grease and flour a bread pan. Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Cream butter and sugar together.
Add eggs and vanilla.
Mix flour and soda. Alternate adding flour mixture and sour cream.
Add lemon extract and rind if desired.
Pour into pan.
Bake 90 minutes.

My mom got this recipe from her aunt when I was little and we have loved making it throughout the years. Now my family enjoys it and soon it will be passed down another generation. The top gets kind of crunchy and everyone fights over it. The best pound cake I have ever had!
