Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and cream for 7-10 minutes until the mixture is so pale that it's "whitish" in color.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, while mixing.
  • Add sour cream and extracts and mix until just combined.
  • Combine the flour and baking soda in a separate bowl and dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Don't over-mix or else you will end up with a flat and tough cake!
  • Pour this batter in a greased/floured loaf pan (Dimensions: 10 x 5).
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Once the cake has cooled down, frost the top with whipped cream.
  • Add some fresh strawberries and drizzle Nutella syrup over the whole cake. Enjoy!
