Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk (or evaporated milk for deeper flavor)
  • 1 tsp salt (for frosting)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a tube or Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In another bowl, sift flour with baking soda and salt. Gradually mix this into the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 75–90 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For frosting, melt butter in a saucepan, then stir in brown sugar and salt until dissolved. Add milk gradually while stirring; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  8. Frost the cooled cake immediately.
