SOUR CREAM CAKE RECIPE FROM SCRATCH RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour two 8x2 round cake pans. (You could also divide the batter between three 8 inch cake layers if you would rather have an additional layer of filling). In the bowl of your mixer, combine dry ingredients and whisk at least 30 seconds to blend. In another bowl, combine sour cream, water, eggs, & flavorings. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stop after 1 minute to scrape the sides and bottom of bowl then continue to beat for the second minute. Pour into prepared pans and bake at 325 degrees....check at 35 minutes to see if middle of cake springs back when touched, a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, and the cake will be slightly pulled away from the pan. We bake at 325 degrees to decrease the height of the dome on the cakes. Makes about 7 cups of batter. Works well for cupcakes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a bundt pan, set aside.
• With a mixer, cream together butter, sugar and sour cream until fluffy.
• Mix in beaten eggs and vanilla until combined.
• Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, and add to wet mixture, beating well.
• Toss the ingredients for the Cinnamon Nut Streusel together and add 1/3 of the mixture to the prepared bundt pan. Top with 1/3 of the cake batter, and continue to alternate batter and streusel mixture, ending with batter.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Cool in cake pan for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate to cool the rest of the way.
• Enjoy as is, or glaze with sour cream glaze, by mixing the glaze ingredients together until they are the desired thickness, and spooning over the cooled cake.
