3 Layer Sour Cream Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipes

SOUR CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with baking or parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a separate bowl, add oil, vanilla and egg. Beat briefly with fork just to break up the egg yolk.
• Add to dry ingredients along with the sour cream and stir to combine. The cake batter will be very thick (see photo below) - this is ok.
• Transfer cake batter to your cake pan and gently smooth the top. Bake cake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Leave cake to cool slightly before carefully removing from cake pan and leaving on a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the frosting, add butter to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and sugar and beat slowly until it starts to come together. Add sour cream and continue to beat until smooth.
• Cover top of cake with sour cream frosting and serve.

• Tip: Neatly frost this cake by freezing cake layers about 20 minutes before frosting.
• This helps to set the crumbs on the cut edges of the cake layers so they don't pull up into the frosting.
• Don't worry if the frosting doesn't look perfect on the sides of the cake; the walnuts will cover any imperfections.
