Aunt Kay's Sour Cream Pound Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 box of Duncan Hines yellow, batter cake
• 4 eggs
• 1-8 ounce carton of sour cream
• 3/4 cup of Wesson oil
• 1/2 cup of sugar

Preparation:

Get out one box of Duncan Hines yellow, batter cake. In a large mixing bowl, crack four eggs and mix the eggs into the mixing bowl.

Aunt Kay was always in her kitchen making all sorts of food, either it was her famous chicken enchiladas or her delicious sour cream pound cake. The oven was always heated to 350 degrees to place all the varieties of food she was making at that moment in the oven. Even if it was a holiday or just a get-together, Aunt Kay had a meal prepared for an army, so to speak.

Scoop out of the tub and place one to eight ounces of sour cream into the mixing bowl. Then, pour three-fourths cup of Wesson oil, and also a half cup of sugar. Once all the ingredients have been placed into the bowl, mix and stir until all the clumps have disappeared.

I can hear my cousins Andrew and Nathan zooming through the house playing with their mini toy cars. I heard my Uncle Steve yelling:

"Be quiet! I'm trying to watch the Arkansas football game!"

"Yes sir."- says the boys.

After being yelled at, Andrew and Nathan stop running with their cars and fighting with each other, and they go back to my cousin John's old room to play with their toy cars without being yelled at.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

"Brissa!"- the searching and worrisome Avery shouts my name to come and watch "Dora the Exployer" with her.

Subsequently, I go to my cousin's John's old room to see what all her fuss is. I sat down and watched "Dora the Exployer" with her. Fifteen minutes into watching the show, me and Avery hear giggles and laughter. So, we look under the bed, and out pops Andrew and Nathan. They crawled out from under the bed and dash out of the room like the house was on fire.

Get out a bunt cake pan and spray the pan evenly, either with Pam or Baker's Joy, both will do the same.

I follow not far behind the boys to see where they are running to. We eventually run into my Uncle Steve's office where my brother Phillip and cousin Nicholson are. Asking them what they are playing, I am cut short with the answer of:

"Call of Duty!"- sharply replies Phillip.

Teasing, I ask:

"Can I play?" 

"Sure"- says Nicholson.

"You don't even know how to work the remote control!"- rudely comments Phillip.

"True!"- I reply.

After all the teasing from my attempt to shoot figures on a video game, I head into the kitchen where the adults are doing their annual gossiping to one another. Exaggerating from the starvation of hunger, I ask when is the cake going to be ready.

"About ten more minutes"- replies Aunt Kay.

Sneaking a chip with cheese dip on it, my hand is swatted by Uncle Steve's hand protecting his delicious sausage cheese dip he made. I shoved the chip into my mouth while my Uncle Steve is jokingly staring me down for taking some of his cheese dip.

Once the timer goes off for 325 degrees, place the cake pan filled with cake batter into the oven for forty-five to sixty minutes.

I walk around the house to see where all the commotion is going on, and I find my mom, Grandma, and Aunt Carolyn in the dining room where my mom is telling about when Nathan went to the dentist to get his cavity filled, and she mentioned how hysterical he was on the laughing gas, you could hear their laughter from China! I sat down to see what the uproar of laughter was all about.

Then, when forty-five minutes have past, open the oven and test the cake to make sure it is done, where there is no batter on the cake tester.

We are then joined by Aunt Kay. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a paper airplane zooms over our heads and crashes into the kitchen. Five seconds later, two more come out of nowhere, and out yells Nathan:

"It's the Koreans!"

We die of laughter.

Then yells Andrew: "It's the Japanese!"

After we are covered in paper airplanes from the battle, we move into the kitchen to finish Nathan's dentist visit.

When the timer goes off for when the cake is ready, let it cool for a few minutes in the pan, then invert onto a cake plate. Once it has cooled down, sprinkle powdered sugar on the top of it, and enjoy!

Aunt Kay slices the pound cake like a pie into pieces so that everyone gets a slice, and hands out the plates filled with slices of pound cake. Before you know it, Andrew and Nathan come dashing back into the kitchen, asking for a second piece. Aunt Kay gives them another, and joins the rest of the group in the dining room where there is silence, it is so quiet you can hear a pin drop. No one is speaking because we are all enjoying the amazing sour cream pound cake that is always made by the one and only, Aunt Kay.
