Buttery Pound Cake...

2 cups sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
5 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar and butter in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy, two to three minutes. Continue beating, adding eggs one at a time, until well mixed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sour cream, milk, and vanilla. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, one to two minutes.

Reduce speed to low. Add flour and salt; beat just until moistened.

Spoon batter into greased and floured 12-cup Bundt or 10-inch tube pan. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely.
