Chanda's sour cream pecan poundcake

1 Cake

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 larges Eggs, separated
3 cups Sugar
1 cup Butter
3 cups Flour, plain
½ teaspoon Baking soda
Sour cream (small carton)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 cups Pecans, chopped

Directions

Grease tube pan; preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Set two sticks of butter aside to soften. Separate eggs; beat whites till stiff and set aside.

Cut butter into sugar. Add egg yolks and beat a little.

Measure flour; use a small amount to mix with nuts until they are well-floured. Mix soda into flour. Stir flour into butter/sugar/egg mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla. Can do all this with an electric mixer, but now use a spoon to fold in egg whites.

Fold in nuts and bake approximately 1½ hours until done.
