Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. It should be noticeably lighter in color. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla, orange and almond extracts. Blend in the flour mixture, alternating with the sour cream, until fully incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Allow cake to cool on rack before removing from pan to cool completely.

THE ALL TIME TOP FIVE BRITISH CAKES - THE SPRUCE EATS

From thespruceeats.com
Author Elaine Lemm
  • Classic Lemon Drizzle Cake. There are so many lemon drizzle cakes recipes out there, but this is one we learned (many) years ago in school. A classic of its time.
  • Traditional Chocolate Cake. Top of the list of the top 5 has to be the chocolate sponge cake. Let's face it, who doesn't love a slice. This recipe makes one of the best cakes we have ever baked or eaten.
  • The Classic Victoria Sponge Cake. Up there in the top 5 is the Victoria Sponge; the cake which all bakers aspire to make the lightest, tastiest ever. The delicate sponge is the stuff of village fetes, the WI, and competition for the best cake is fierce.
  • The Traditional British Rich Fruit Cake. The most famous British fruitcake must be the Christmas Cake. No other cake is so laden with rich dried fruits and spices.
  • A Frivolous, Fun Battenberg Cake. No way would this list be complete without one of the most cheering of traditional British cakes, the Battenberg. No cake is more British than a frivolous Battenberg cake.
