Ingredients

  • 16 tablespoons (1 cup) butter, at cool room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9- or 10-cup Bundt pan.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating for a minute or two between additions. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, and beat briefly to recombine any residue.

Add the baking powder, salt, and baking soda, then gently beat in half the flour.

Gently mix in the sour cream and vanilla, then add the remaining flour, mixing just until blended.

Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven. Cool it in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a rack to finish cooling. Cool completely before slicing.
