Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan thoroughly, ensuring every crevice is coated to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly incorporated into the batter.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in thirds, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Step 10
If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
