Sift together flour and other dry ingredients. Beat butter in a bowl until smooth. Add sugar and beat again. Add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Beat until fluffy. Alternately add sour cream and flour, starting with sour cream, in two or three additions. Pour into pan, smooth top and bake for 1 hour 5 minutes, or until tester comes out clean. Notes: I added about 1 teaspoon of almond extract with the vanilla and added 1 cup of dried cranberries to the batter just before I put it into the pan. The original recipe suggests other variations, which basically involve adding a cup of fruit or nuts and a teaspoon or two of spices, if you wish. I would try it again with nonfat sour cream or yogurt, just to feel a tiny bit less guilty about loving it so much.</blockquote>
