Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a a 10-inch straight sided tube pan with the margarine wrappers.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the margarine and sugar. Beat the margarine and sugar on medium low speed for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the eggs to the margarine and sugar mixture one at a time and beat until incorporated after each addition.
• Add in the vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
• Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
• With the mixer on low, add the sour cream alternately with the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 60 minutes and check to see if done. A long wooden skewer should come out clean when inserted into the cake. If the cake is not done, continue baking for up to 15 minutes and cover lightly with foil if the top is browning too much.
• Remove the cake from the oven when done. Let cook on a baking rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife between the cake and the edge of the pan and unmold the cake. Tap the sides of the pan to help loosen the cake.
