- Preppy Kitchen

  • 2 9x5 inch loaf pans

Ingredients

  • eggs
  • cup unsalted butter (226g) room temperature
  • 2 cup sugar (200g)
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour (180g)
  • 1 cup sour cream (120mL)
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 9x5 inch baking tin.
.... and from here, I take the easy slap method: 

cream the butter. Add sugar in and mix until light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl down and beat a few more seconds.
Add the eggs in one at a time....
Bake about 40 minutes - until the center is set and a skewer comes out clean.

Allow to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
