SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE



Sour Cream Pound Cake image

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.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
Confectioners' sugar, for serving
Fresh berries, for serving, optional

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.

2 cups butter, softened
3 cups white sugar
6 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground mace
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®.
  • Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy and noticeably lighter in color. Add room-temperature eggs 1 at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in vanilla with the last egg.
  • Mix together flour, baking soda, salt, and mace in a bowl. Add flour mixture to the butter-egg mixture alternately with sour cream, mixing until just incorporated. Transfer batter to the prepared pan and spread to smooth top.

Tips:

  • Proper Ingredients: Make sure to use fresh ingredients, especially the eggs, butter, and sour cream. High-quality ingredients contribute to a richer flavor.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential. This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Adding Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mixing Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This ensures an even distribution of the dry ingredients and helps to prevent lumps.
  • Folding Dry Ingredients: When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, fold them in gently with a spatula. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Baking Temperature and Time: Bake the cake in a preheated oven at the specified temperature and time. Every oven is unique, so adjust the baking time if necessary.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before serving or frosting. This helps the cake to set and prevents it from falling apart.
