Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 cups white sugar
• 1 pinch ground mace
• 2 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt).

Step 2

Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light, fluffy, and noticeably lighter in color. Add five eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in remaining egg and vanilla.

Step 3

Mix flour, salt, baking soda, and mace in a bowl. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients alternately with sour cream, mixing until just incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread to smooth the top.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Invert carefully onto a serving plate and let cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
