Inspired to bake this from: http://sumodtomzcuisines.com

Ingredients:

• Whole Wheat Flour, sifted - 2 cup & 2 tbsp

How to bake:

1. Let all the ingredients are at room temperature. 
2. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C/350 degree F. Prepare two 9" round cake pans by greasing and flouring the pan.
3. Sieve together all the dry ingredients. 
4. whisk in the sour cream and add in milk to make a smooth cream.
5. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until it is soft and fluffy.
6. Add eggs one at a time and continue to beat by scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl. The mixture will be soft and fluffy.
7. Now add the vanilla extract and mix well.
8. Start adding the flour mixture alternating with the milk and sour cream mix, little at a time. Gently fold in the mixture using a spatula until the flour is fully mixed with the butter, sugar and eggs. Do not over mix. 
8. If the batter is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time and fold the mixture. Batter should fall like a ribbon when poured.
9. Divide the batter into 2 pans and bake at 180 C for 45-50 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and dry.
10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
