Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups cake flour
- 3 cups sugar
Dairy Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 sticks (2 cups) butter, softened
Other Ingredients
- 7 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or bundt pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick during baking.
- Cream Ingredients: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined, approximately 7 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor throughout the batter.
- Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the cake flour to the wet mixture, mixing slowly to avoid overworking the batter while ensuring the flour is fully incorporated.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 1 hour and 30 minutes until the cake turns golden, feels firm to touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your moist, tender cake!
Notes
- Using softened dairy ingredients ensures a smooth batter without lumps.
- Baking at a lower temperature for a longer time yields a dense and moist texture.
- Make sure to beat the eggs one at a time to maintain an even texture.
- Allow the cake to cool completely for cleaner slices and better flavor.
