Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 Large eggs
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan, ensuring all the crevices are well-coated.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed in the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 85-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before serving.
Step 10
Slice and serve plain, or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
