Old-Fashioned Sour Cream Pound Cake (Page 2 ) | May 14, 2024

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan, ensuring all surfaces are well-coated to prevent sticking.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This process can be done with a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
   • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4. Sift Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sifting helps ensure a smooth, tender crumb in the finished cake.
5. Alternate Mixing:
   • Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour Batter into Pan:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to smooth the surface.
7. Bake the Cake:
   • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and spring back lightly when touched.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the pound cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Optional Glaze or Dusting:
   • For an added touch of sweetness, you can drizzle the cooled pound cake with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk, or dust it with powdered sugar for a classic finish.
10. Slice and Enjoy:

• Once cooled and optionally glazed, slice the Old-Fashioned Sour Cream Pound Cake and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh berries, or simply enjoy its deliciousness on its own.
