Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- 2 3/4 cup (550g) granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs room temperature
- 3 cups (423g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sour cream room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan or two 4.5x8-inch loaf pans. Set aside.
- Mix butter and sugar using an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl and mixing well after each addition.
- Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
- Decrease mixer speed to low and slowly add flour mixture in two increments. Mix just until all is incorporated, but do not overmix.
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract, scraping sides and mixing just until combined.
- Scrape batter into prepared bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15-25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. If the cake becomes too dark, cover it with foil.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting the cake onto a serving plate.
- Slice and serve with berries and sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
