Categories     Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c butter
3 c sugar, divided
6 eggs, separated
3 c flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
8 oz sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond flavoring

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream butter and 2 cups sugar. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour, baking soda and salt twice. Add to creamed mixture, alternating with sour cream. Beat egg whites and remaining cup of sugar until stiff. Fold gently into batter. Blend in flavorings. Bake in a greased and floured tube pan 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees. Cake should have a nice, brown crust. Let stand 15 minutes before removing from pan. Note: To coat pan, the former first lady uses 1 tablespoon flour and 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar mixed together.

Tips:

  • Use top-quality sour cream for the best flavor.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the batter one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming dense.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
