Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a bundt pan by using a paper towel to coat the inside with shortening and a light dusting of flour (or granulated sugar) over that. Avoid using butter, as the milk solids in butter will cause your cake to stick instead of release.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
- In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
- On low speed add in the flour mixture and sour cream, alternating between the two. Add the vanilla and mix until just barely combined. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for about 80 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out completely clean.
- Let the cake cool for a few minutes before turning the cake onto a cooling rack. Wait 5-8 minutes before trying to lift the pan off of the cake. Allow to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or the glaze of your choice and enjoy.

SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE
The original pound cake appeared in America's first cookbook and was made with one pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. Now that's a lot of cake! Vintage recipes also suggest separating egg yolks from whites and whipping the whites to stiff peaks before folding them into the cake batter. We tested and didn't feel this extra effort was worth the pay-off. We've scaled down the ingredients and the work involved to make a showpiece cake that is perfect for your next family gathering. The key is the sour cream, which balances the sweetness and ensures your cake remains soft for days! This pound cake is moist, dense and dangerously buttery.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a coated 10- to 14-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour, making sure to coat all the details of the pan. Invert the pan and shake out any excess.
- Add the butter to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, about 4 minutes more. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix on medium speed until incorporated.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture in 2 parts and mix on low speed until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
- Bake until golden brown and crackly on the surface and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out almost clean with just a few crumbs, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely before removing the pan. The cake will contract while it cools, making it easier to remove.
- Sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar. Top each slice with fresh berries if using.
BETSY'S BEST SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE
Steps:
- Cream shorting, add sugar gradually and cream well. Add 1 egg at a time, beating after each. Mix flour and baking soda. Add flour alternately with sour cream. Add vanilla extract and pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 ½ hour. Turn cakes around and check at 10 minute intervals until they are cooked.
Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake batter to come together more smoothly and evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly and browns properly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
