Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120g) sour cream, room temperature
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2–3 tbsp milk (only if needed, to loosen the batter)
Instructions
- Make the batter:
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light, pale, and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing just until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- If the batter is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time to loosen it slightly.
- Bake the cake:
- Pour the batter into a greased and lined loaf pan (9×5-inch).
- Smooth the top and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
This Sour Cream Butter Loaf Cake is a buttery, soft treat that will melt in your mouth. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweetness and tang with every slice! 😋🎂
