What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a Bundt pan with cooking spray and lightly flour.

-
In another large bowl, combine flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and salt. Add alternately with sour cream to butter mixture, beating until well mixed.

Notes
In a pinch, you can substitute the zest of 1 orange for the orange extract.
