  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease/flour a loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well blended before adding the next.
  4. Gently fold in the sour cream and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
  • Consider adding lemon zest or chocolate chips for extra flavor variations.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days or freeze for up to three months.
