I won first place with this cake at the Cuyahoga County Fair (Cleveland, Ohio) in 1993. For a nuttier variation, you can substitute 1 cup of the flour with 1 cup of ground pecans.

I've tried many sour cream pound cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's moist, flavorful, and the pecan streusel topping is the perfect finishing touch.
