Sour Cream Pound Cake is a delightful treat that combines tender, buttery richness with a hint of tang from sour cream. It’s perfect for any occasion, featuring simple ingredients and a straightforward preparation that yields an irresistibly moist cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 3 cups sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
- 3 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- PAM Baking Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Generously spray a 10-inch bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix for another minute.
- Incorporate the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, checking after 1 hour to ensure the top isn't browning too much. If it is, cover with foil to minimize browning.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness. Avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges before flipping it onto a plate or rack to cool completely upside down.
Notes
For best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
