Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
Mix-ins
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10–12 cookies)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or a loaf pan to prepare it for baking.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in portions, alternating with the sour cream. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing the batter.
- Fold in Oreos: Carefully fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and optional mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes; if using a loaf pan, start checking for doneness around 50-60 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center, which should come out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
- Serve: Slice the cooled cake and serve. This pound cake is delicious on its own or can be paired with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Make sure to cream the butter and sugar well to achieve a light texture.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the cake tender.
- Using sour cream adds moisture and richness to the pound cake.
- The mini chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolate flavor and texture.
- Letting the cake cool completely before slicing helps prevent it from crumbling.
