Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- 9×5-inch loaf pan
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Hennessy
- 1 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Mixing the Dry Ingredients
- A medium-sized bowl should hold the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Creaming Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- It’s important to beat well after each egg that you add slowly.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and Hennessy.
Adding Dry Ingredients and Sour Cream
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
Baking the Cake
- Put the batter into the loaf pan that has been prepared.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- It should be moved to a wire rack to finish cooling after 10 minutes of cooling in the pan.
Notes
- To get a smooth mix, make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature.
- Don’t mix the batter too much, or the cake will be too dense.
- For an extra touch of Hennessy flavor, brush a small amount of Hennessy over the warm cake before it cools.
