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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together into a bowl; set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
