Is there no liquid added to this recipe? No water or milk? It makes a very stiff batter. It rises in oven but when you take it out it flops to half the size. I used to make this recipe in the 70’s but I lost it. I think I remember some liquid besides the oil.

Yes, the batter should be thick. I make this cake all the time and have for many, many years. It should not have flopped for you. I have made it a bundt pan, 2 loaf pans, 2 cake pans or even cupcakes. The only pan it doesn’t work for is a jelly roll pan only because you can’t roll this after baking. For the sour cream, I prefer making my own with a cup of heavy cream (34%) and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Leave on the counter overnight in a covered non metal container. Whisk gently to make smooth and use in the cake. You can also use melted and cooled butter instead of oil. Some add 1/4 cup cake flour as well but I’ve never tried it. It’s supposed to make it denser, even more like pound cake. Try again. It does make an excellent cake. I use this method will all my cake mixes.
