caterina cacciatore

1 and 1/2 sticks of butter
1 and 1/2 cups of sugar
cream those two together
add :

3 eggs, one at a time

then add :

1 and 1/2 cups flower
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

when this is all mixed add 1/2 cup sour cream

flavorings of your choice

for example today i used vanilla and lemon and lemon zest

for the birthday cake i used vanilla and almond flavorings

as this cake was inspired by classic Basque cakes which have big cherries at the bottom i used wild blueberries instead just cuz i had them

butter and flower a loaf pan or a bundt type pan

bake for at least an hour 325 degrees

actually the blue berries made kind of an unruly looking cake when i took it out of the bundt pan / kind of not what one might call "perfect"

it is soooo liberating to send a cake to a party that looks casual and devil may care and downright
