English Pound Cake
Ingredients
- 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 6 eggs, room temperature
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon orange extract
- 0.25 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup sour cream
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- Sift flour, baking soda and salt together into a bowl; set aside.
- Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; it should be noticeably lighter in color. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in extracts; blend in flour mixture, alternating with sour cream, until fully incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool cake on a wire rack before removing from pan to cool completely.
