Recipe: Splenda Sour Cream Pound Cake plus some ideas for alterations!

I was emailing with a fellow WLS patient about recipes... I shared the Splenda sour cream pound cake recipe I have used with her and in the back and forth we had going on, mentioned that I was planning to try it again but with some alterations. I plan to hold out part of the cake batter and stir in some sugar free Jello in strawberry. I said I'd probably stir in some sugar free strawberry preserves. She commented that it sounded good and that it might be good layered in a trifle. That got me to thinking... I have this baking pan that is a flat pan with 6 mini-bundt cake molds that are each about 3" wide.

This cake would be awesome made in those pans and then split in half and used as strawberry or blueberry shortcakes. It would be a yummy summer treat! SO, here's the original Splenda sour cream pound cake recipe... Do with it what you will, but let us know about it!! I make this for bake sale fundraisers and they always sell out!

NOTE--The ingredients say Splenda granular, but the directions say Splenda blend... I used the granular, not the blend which is half sugar and half Splenda granular... I have also made it (for a bake sale) with full sugar and it got rave reviews, so the recipe works either way! Oh, and I never sifted the flour!

Thanks for sharing Lea! We needed a dessert to take to church tomorrow and decided on this on. We are going to cover it with fresh strawberries and have Sugar Free Cool whip on the side. I just pulled our cake from the oven and it looks and smells wondeful! Thanks again! scott

Thanks so much for this recipe! I have been looking for one with all Splenda, and this sounds great! Today is my son's birthday, and he won't eat ANY sugar; so I'm trying this for his birthday cake with strawberries and sugar free Cool Whip. Thanks again! Virginia
