How to Make White Almond Sour Cream Wedding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 3-inch deep cake pans: one 14", one 10", and one 6".
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond 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.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost and decorate as desired.
