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.

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.

MY FAVORITE SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE



My Favorite Sour Cream Pound Cake image

This, to me, is undoubtedly the best sour cream pound cake I have ever made. It comes out perfect every time. I keep a close eye on mine in the oven. I do not like an overly brown cake. This would be delish with any type of fruit and whipped cream. I like it simply cut and thrown on a paper plate! Yum!! I hope you enjoy.

Sour cream

This rich and tangy cake is perfect for any occasion. Follow these tips to make sure your Sour cream come out perfectly:

  • Make sure the butter is softened before you start. This will help the cake to cream together smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to melt the chocolate. This will prevent the chocolate from scorching.
  • Don't over beat the eggs. Over-beaten eggs can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath. This will help the cake to bake evenly and prevent the top from browning too much.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion

Sour cream is a delightful and versatile cake, perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tangy, and decadent texture, it is an indulgence that will leave a memorable experience. Here's a recap of key points to ensure a successful Sour cream:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, particularly the butter and the chocolate.
  • Soften the butter adequately before creaming it with sugar.
  • Incorporate the eggs one at a time, allowing each to be fully absorbed before adding the next.
  • Ensure the chocolate is melted evenly and smoothly, without any lumps.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the creaming mixture slowly, stirring vigorously to avoid curdling.
  • Do not over-bake the cake. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs attached when testing the center.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.

Experiment with different frostings to discover the perfect match for your taste. Have fun creating a Sour cream cake that will impress and enthrall your family and guests!
