• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Beat flour mixture and sour cream alternately into sugar mixture on low speed until blended.
• Spread 1/4 of the batter (about 1-1/2 cups) into each pan, then sprinkle  each with 1/4 of the filling; top with another 1/4 of the batter, and then top with 1/4 of the filling and smash down a little bit.
• Bake for 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.  Cool slightly; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack.
