Hi Joyce, I would stick with all goal flour — the cake is quite light with a very tender crumb so cake flour is not required. I would also advocate sticking with typical and not the light or fat cost-free sour cream.

A 3 layer pound cake stuffed with fluffy whipped topping, sweet strawberries, and topped with a sprinkle of lemon zest.
