1 c Butter or margarine; softene
6 lg Eggs
2 2/3 c Sugar
3 c All-purpose flour
1/4 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Sour cream; cultured
1/2 ts Lemon extract
1/2 ts Orange extract
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
Bring butter and eggs to room temperature. Grease and flour the bottom and
sides of a 10-inch bundt or tube pan; set aside.
In large mixing bowl, beat butter with electric mixer until creamy.
Gradually add the sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating about 1 minute after each; scrape bowl
frequently, guiding mixture toward beaters. Beat
2 minutes more.
Sift together flour, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately
with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat well after
each addition. Add lemon, orange and vanilla extracts; beat just until
thoroughly blended.
Pour batter into prepared 10-inch bundt or tube pan. Bake in preheated
350 degree oven for 1-1/2 hours, or until wooden pick inserted in center
comes out clean and dry. Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes;
remove from pan. Cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if
desired.
Makes 12 to 16 servings. Lori Norman/Wis Gramma
