  • Author: David
  • Total Time: 65-75 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

This vanilla bundt cake features a buttery crumb that melts in your mouth and a gentle sweetness that pairs beautifully with coffee, tea, or a simple frosting drizzle. Perfect for beginners, it’s a showstopper for any occasion yet surprisingly simple to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240g) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, then dust with a light coating of flour.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (226g) of unsalted butter and 2 cups (400g) of sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, letting each incorporate fully before adding the next. Mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups (375g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 1 cup (240g) of sour cream. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden and springy to the touch.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before serving or decorating.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
