Ingredients:

• 2 sticks butter, softened
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3 cups flour
• 6 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the sour cream and mix until incorporated. Sift the baking soda and flour together in a separate bowl. Add to the creamed mixture alternating with eggs, beating each egg 1 at a time. Add the vanilla and pour the mixture into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Optional: Add 3/4 cup cocoa powder and an additional 1/4 cup of sour cream to make a chocolate version.

Baker’s Note: The icing from the orange cookies goes really well with the chocolate version of this cake!
