210 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) plain flour or all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
120 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil

SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE



Sour Cream Pound Cake image

Sour Cream Pound Cake is rich, tender and buttery, perfect for any occasion. This cake is so scrumptious, it doesn't need much of a topping, just a fork to eat it with.

Provided by Alyssa Rivers

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
3 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon vanilla

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the baking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Properly Measure Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients. This is especially important for baking, as precise measurements are essential for success.
  • Don't Overmix: When mixing the cake batter, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Proper Baking Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cake. An accurate oven thermometer can help you ensure that your oven is at the right temperature.
  • Don't Open the Oven Door: Once the cake is in the oven, avoid opening the oven door. Opening the door can cause the cake to fall or bake unevenly.
  • Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Once the cake is done baking, let it cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help the cake to set properly and make it easier to handle.
