6 eggs, separated

Beat egg whites, add 1 cup sugar and set aside. Cream:

1/2 lb. butter

Add:

2 c. sugar

Add egg yolks and beat until fluffy.

8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla butter and nut extract
1 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. baking soda

Mix extracts with sour cream; mix soda with flour; add alternately to cream mixture beginning and ending with the flour. Fold in egg whites. Bake in large loaf pan or Bundt pan at 325 degrees for 1 1/4 hours. Let cool in the pan 15-20 minutes.

I add my egg yolks one at a time; beating them real well after each one. I also use a very large loaf pan.
