Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them into the mixture.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking soda to ensure even distribution.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or tube pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or alongside fresh berries and whipped cream. Enjoy!
