Preparation:
Combine sour cream and milk (Or strained yogurt and milk.)
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly between additions.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add to creamed butter alternately with sour cream/milk mixture in three additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla and amaretto or almond extract.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of cake comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks. Cool completely before frosting. |
