Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar 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 flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cake is completely cooled, you can dust it with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve.
