How to Make Bigjay's Sour Cream Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 60-minute mark.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
