Cardamom Coffee Cake

This cake is rich (and large!) so a perfect choice for special occasions and entertaining. It has a plain exterior, but you can dust it with powdered sugar to dress it up. The party is all on the inside with this cake, and that’s fine with me.

The cake will last about a week under a glass cake dome, or covered with foil. It freezes beautifully, too. You can freeze individual slices, just wrap the completely cooled slices in plastic, then in foil.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 cups golden brown sugar
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups sour cream
