This old-fashioned sour cream pound cake is a simple and easy dessert that comes together with just a handful of basic pantry staples!

Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Garnish: powdered sugar
- Optional, for serving: whipped cream; fresh berries; ice cream; fresh mint
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a Bundt pan and dust with flour (or use a nonstick baking spray). In a large bowl, use the paddle attachment on an electric stand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until incorporated. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter and mix just until combined.
- Transfer to the prepared pan.
- Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cake is cool, dust with powdered sugar just before slicing and serving.
Notes
- If you're starting with unsalted butter (rather than salted butter), add an extra ½ teaspoon salt to the batter.
- The pound cake will stay fresh when covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. It does not need to be refrigerated. For the refrigerator or countertop, you can just wrap the cake tightly with plastic wrap. For the freezer, I recommend a layer of plastic wrap, followed by another layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Pound cake will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
