3 c. sugar
3 sticks butter
3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
6 eggs
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Sift flour, soda and salt together, then add eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Add flour mixture and sour cream alternately. Add vanilla. Pour in greased and floured tube pan and bake 1 1/2 hours at 325°F or until cake stays in place when touched lightly with finger. Cake will pull away from pan slightly.

Can use a couple of drops of yellow food coloring to make it pretty.
