Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup (240 g) sour cream
• 2 cups (454 g) unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
• 7 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3½ cups cake flour, sifted
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.

3. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until light and creamy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
6. Whisk together the cake flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the batter, mixing on low speed until just combined.
7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 85–95 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice and serve plain or garnish with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Tips

• Bring all refrigerated ingredients to room temperature before mixing.
• Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to keep the cake tender.
• Use cake flour for the lightest, finest crumb.

Storage

Store tightly covered at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
