Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
