In your mixing bowl add your butter and sugar and blend, then add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each egg. Stir in the vanilla. In another bowl mix all the dry ingredients and alternately adding some of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture along with some of the buttermilk. Continue this pattern until all ingredients have been added and mixed. In the end mix in the sour cream.
