In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Attach the bowl with the dry ingredients to the standing mixer and mix for a few seconds. Add the softened butter and a few tablespoons of the egg mixture, and beat for 10 seconds to combine. Beat in the remaining egg mixture, continuing to beat until very smooth.
