Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 16 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature; 3 cups Granulated Sugar; 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract; 2 teaspoons Pure Almond Extract; 1/4 teaspoons Pure Lemon Extract; 7 whole Large Eggs; 3 cups All-purpose Flour; 1/2 teaspoons Fine Salt; 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda; 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder; 1 cup Sour Cream (not Fat Free)

Servings: persons

16 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
3 cups Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
2 teaspoons Pure Almond Extract
1/4 teaspoons Pure Lemon Extract
7 whole Large Eggs
3 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Fine Salt
1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 cup Sour Cream (not Fat Free)

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0F. Prepare 9x13x2-inch cake pan with Baker's Joy baking spray and wrap pan with insulated baking strips that have been moistened with water (this will prevent your cake from forming a hump).
2
In a heavy duty stand mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla, almond, and lemon extracts; beat just until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until no traces of egg remain. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; add to batter in mixing bowl, beating until no traces of dry flour remain. Add sour cream and mix until combined.
3
Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean. Remove cake pan from oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before turning the cake out of pan. Allow cake to cool completely on rack before frosting.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
