Some time ago Rachel's mom made her a little booklet of family recipes (she typed them on the computer; it's more legible but less fun than reading Grandma and Bubbe's handwriting on old stained index cards).
Sift flour and baking soda together. Cream butter and sugar together using an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat after each egg. Add sour cream, a little at a time, and beat well. Fold in flour/baking soda mixture on low mixer speed. Add vanilla and beat at low speed about one minute more. Pour into greased tube pan (or 3 loaf pans) that has wax paper in bottom and around sides. Bake at 350degF for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cake cool for about 10 minutes before turning out of pan and peeling off wax paper.
