Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer.
  4. Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. For the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  11. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips
