1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups flour, sifted
1-1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup sour cream
Confectioner's sugar

Steps:

Set the oven at 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter until soft and light. Add the sugar gradually, beating well. Beat in the eggs a little at a time, beating thoroughly. Sift together the flour, cardamon, salt, and baking soda. Beat the flour mixture into the batter, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with flour. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top with a rubber spatula, and transfer the cake to the heated oven. Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes or until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Leave the cake in the pan to cool for 5 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. Leave to mellow for several hours before sprinkling with confectioner's sugar.
