Cover2's Sour Cream Pound Cake

This recipe has been in the family for years and comes from my granddaddy's sister. "Aunt Snooks" ran a lunch room for the local school system for many years (which I attended) and all the system employees that could made sure they took lunch with her. This cake was my granddaddy's favorite and can also be used for the layers of your favorite iced cake.
