How to Make Anise Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon anise seeds.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
