Note

For best results, use full-fat sour cream for maximum moisture and richness.

This cake pairs wonderfully with peanut butter frosting, maple frosting, or a simple cream cheese frosting.

Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.

If using two 9-inch pans, bake time may be slightly less; check for doneness at the 35-minute mark.
