In your stand mixer bowl, add butter and sugar and mix for 3-4 minutes on high speed until very pale yellow and fluffy.

Next add eggs, one at a time, combining well after each addition and scraping down the sides of your bowl as needed.

Step 4

Turn your mixer down to its lowest speed, and slowly add flour into batter in two increments then add salt and baking soda. Be careful not to overbeat.

Step 5

Lastly add in sour cream and vanilla extract, scrape down sides and mix until just combined and turn off mixer.

Step 6

Pour cake batter into prepared bundt pan, and bake for 1 hour and 15-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes then invert cake on serving plate for at least an hour or until the cake is cool to touch.
