Recipe
Beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty mixer until
creamy. Add 2 1/2 cups sugar, beating 4 to 5 minutes or until
fluffy. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow
disappears. Combine flour and baking soda; add to butter
mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with
flour mixture. Stir in flavorings. Beat egg whites until
foamy; gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time,
beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter. Pour batter
into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 325
degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until a long wooden pick inserted in
center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes; remove
from pan, and place on a serving plate. While warm, prick cake
surface at 1-inch intervals with a wooden pick; pour warm
Buttered Rum Glaze over cake. Let stand 4 hours or overnight
before serving. Serve with Bananas Foster Sauce and vanilla ice
cream.
