How To Make Sour Cream Loaf Cake
- Begin by preheating the oven to 375.
- In your mixing bowl, mix the egg yolks (if using), milk, melted butter, sour cream, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, vanilla, and sugar together. Then, add your flour and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased metal loaf pan and bake 20 minutes in the oven. Once the top of the loaf has browned, add a layer of foil on top and continue to bake for another 25-30 minutes until the loaf is completely cooked through the center.
