🍰 Soft Vanilla Bundt Cake ✨
A classic homemade Bundt cake with a rich buttery flavor, a soft crumb, and a delicate sweet glaze. Simple to prepare and perfect for tea time, celebrations, or an everyday dessert.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
300 g all-purpose flour
250 g granulated sugar
200 g unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
240 ml milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Glaze:
150 g powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
Directions
Step 1: Get Everything Ready
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Generously grease and lightly dust a Bundt pan with flour to prevent sticking. Gather and measure all your ingredients before starting.
Step 2: Cream the Base
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale, fluffy, and creamy. This step helps create a light texture.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
Step 5: Prepare the Batter
Gradually add the dry mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until the batter is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6: Fill the Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Place in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Glaze
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
