Sour Cream Pound Cake

I was craving pound cake the other night and found this recipe from New Cookbook. And I made a loaf the next day. Serve with strawberries or ice cream or even syrup will be even better.

1/2 cup butter
3 eggs
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1&1/2 all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

Allow butter, eggs, and sour cream in room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a 9*5*3-inch loaf pan. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, beating about 10 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs, beat 1 minute. Alternatively add flour mixture and sour cream, beat until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 70 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and serve.
