Sour Cream Pound Cake (Crusty Top)

In honor of my husband's birthday I will post his favorite cake and the cake that he requests every year on this day. He is a plain Jane kind of a guy. But this is a great pound cake recipe if you like heavy, crusty top pound cake! ;0)

Savannah, GA Inspired Pralines!

I'm from the South...I'm totally SOUTHERN...so I say "ˈpräw-ˌlēen" some up north say....präy-lēn.   After two days of visiting last week in Savannah, GA and the feeling of southern comforts, I was reminded of my maternal grandmother's gift of candy making and baking the finest creamy goodies that I have ever tasted, bar none!
As we bopped in the Savannah Candy Store and were offered a warm praline sample, I was immediately reminded of my grandmother's amazing talents, candy making and baking.  I called my mom to get her old recipe. The recipe is part of the magic but mastering candy making is something else!
