How to Make Basic Sour Cream White Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Generously grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping down the sides as needed. The batter should be well combined and slightly thickened.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
- Run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
- Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely (about 30 minutes) before frosting.
- Frost your delicious cake with your favorite frosting!
