Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350ºF and line 9″x13 inch pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside. In a large measuring cup, mix together the sour cream and vanilla paste. Set a side.
Step 3
In a bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, place the butter and sugar and mix on medium-high until you have a light and fluffy mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time waiting for each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl on occasion.
Step 4
Add the flour mix, alternating with the sour cream mix starting and finishing with the flour (total 3 flour additions). After adding the last part of the flour, stop the mixer and using a rubber spatula, mix in any flour remaining.
Step 5
In a clean mixer bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and whip on high to a soft peak. Gently fold it into the cake batter.
Step 6
Evenly spread the batter in the pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a tooth pick comes out clean from the center of the cake. Remove from oven and allow to completely cool before frosting.
