Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pans
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup sour cream
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • For the sour cream cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 6-inch cake pans with cooking spray.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Reserve.
  • Combine the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Slowly add the vanilla, milk and sour cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually mix in the flour.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the cream cheese icing: Beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Spread icing on each layer, stack layers and cover with icing.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and a smooth batter.
  • Sift dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution and prevent lumps.
  • Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  • Bake the cakes in preheated oven to ensure even baking and prevent the cakes from sinking.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling the layer cake to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a piping bag or spatula to spread the sour cream filling evenly between the cake layers.
  • Decorate the cake with additional sour cream frosting, whipped cream, or fresh berries before serving.
