- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
