Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line bottom with parchment paper or wax paper. Sift and measure flour; sift again with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Add the vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy. Make sure sugar granules have completely dissolved (check by rubbing batter between your fingers_. Add the dry ingredients in 3 portions, alternating with the sour cream. When all the ingredients have been added, beat at medium speed for 1 minute. Pour into prepared pans. Bake 25 minute, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Cool on racks 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely before frosting.
