Ingredients
545 g (2¾ cup) sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
6 eggs
360 g (3 cups) sifted AP flour (I've never actually sifted the flour, but that's what Mom's recipe says.)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking soda
227 g (1 cup) dairy sour cream
½ TBSP lemon extract
½ TBSP orange extract
½ TBSP vanilla extract
Feel free to play with the amount of extract, but be careful; it's easy to overdo it!
Preheat oven to 350°F
In mixer bowl, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition
Add extracts and beat well
Sift together flour, salt and soda (Or, you can put all 3 in a bowl and mix them up with a fork, which is what I actually do!)
Alternate adding the flour mixture and sour cream to the batter, beating after each addition
Pour batter into greased and floured 10-inch tube pan (I use Baker's Joy cooking spray instead of grease and flour.)
Bake in 350°F oven for 1½ hours (1¼ hours in roaster) or until cake tests done. (Note: In my oven, I put the cake a bit above center, and it's done in 75 minutes.)
Cool for 15 minutes then remove from pan; Cool completely before cutting or storing.
You can frost or sprinkle with confectioners sugar if you like. I like it drizzled with glaze icing.
