Since two people have asked for the recipe, I figured I might as well put it online for everyone.
2 sticks butter or margarine
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 8 oz carton sour cream
1/4 tsp. baking soda
3 cups flour
1 tsp. vanilla or lemon extract (I used vanilla)
Sift
flour and measure; resift twice with soda; set aside. Cream butter and
add sugar slowly, beating consistently to cream well. Add eggs, one at
a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a
time, beating well and consistently. Add the sour cream. Add vanilla or lemon extract.
Turn into well greased and floured 10 inch tube pan. (I used Pam cooking
spray) Bake in moderate oven at 325 degrees for an hour and a half or
until cake is done. Be sure to preheat oven before placing bake on
baking rack in oven. When done, let it cool for a few minutes before
taking it out of the pan. (I didn't do that, broke my cake :-( )
