Instructions

Cake

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a 10 inch fluted tube or Bundt pan, and tap out the excess flour.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together; set aside.
  3. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a hand-held electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract and zest.
  5. On low speed, add the flour in 3 additions, alternating with 2 additions of sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl often with a rubber spatula. Spread evenly in the pan.
  6. Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours.

  2. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, one tablespoon at a time.
  3. Transfer the cake to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Drizzle syrup over pound cake when you serve.
