Very Vanilla Pound Cake

Servings: 10

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup butter (2 sticks), room temperature

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 cup sour cream

• 3 large eggs

• 2 TB vanilla extract

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Butter a bundt cake pan, rubbing it into all the creases. Add a little flour and rotate the pan to coat all sides. Bang the pan against the counter or your hand to knock the excess flour off and discard into the trash or sink.

3. In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.

4. In another large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt with a whisk.

5. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing well. Add the sour cream, mixing well. Then, mix in the vanilla. The batter will be very thick.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden. Let the pan cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then turn the cake out of the pan onto the rack and leave it to cool.

7. Serve with caramel sauce, port-cherry sauce, strawberries and cream, or other sauce.
