Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Light lemon glaze or other preferred glaze
  • Chocolate chips and cocoa powder (for chocolate twist)
  • Fresh berries or citrus zest (for fruit infusion)
  • Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans (for nutty crunch)
  • Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom (for spiced variation)
  • Gluten-free flour blend to substitute all-purpose flour for gluten-free option

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Ingredients: Thoroughly grease and flour your Bundt pan to prevent sticking. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all ingredients, measuring them out for smooth assembly.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the batter and helps create a tender texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract for warm, sweet aromatics.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk (or buttermilk) to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Decorate: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with your favorite glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter, eggs, and milk to help the batter come together perfectly.
  • Fully grease and flour your Bundt pan for easy unmolding.
  • Mix ingredients just until combined to maintain a tender and soft crumb.
  • Use the toothpick test to check doneness: insert into the center and it should come out clean when done.
  • Allow the cake to cool properly in the pan before removing to avoid breakage.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with plant-based alternatives and use almond or oat milk.
