How to Make No Fail Sour Cream Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is best done with an electric mixer.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and buttermilk.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 105 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
