Place butter and sugar  into a mixing bowl  and mix the two until it becomes fluffy and light .This process not only mixes the two , it also aids in aeration  which is vital for the creation of light and tender cake . To ensure that ingredients are incorporated evenly you should occasionally  scrap down the bowl sides .

The best way of doing it is adding 1/3 of the dry ingredients and 1/2 of sour cream .
