I made this a few weeks ago for an event. It had been years since I made it and it was as good as ever. I even made a large one and sent it over to one of the locations where people were helping with Irene clean up. Still waiting for my pan back! I am giving you the recipe for 2 cakes. You will want one in your freezer for those sudden guests.
1 c. soft butter
2.5 cups of sugar
4 eggs
2 T. of liquid coffee.
1 tsp vanilla
Cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time to mix well. Add the coffee and vanilla and blend
4 cups of flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1/ 4 tsp salt
2.5 cups of sour cream
Sift the dry ingredients together. Add alternately to the sugar/ butter mix alternating with the sour cream.
