Description
A straightforward recipe for a moist vanilla cake baked in a Bundt pan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a simple glaze, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Ensure all your ingredients, especially butter and eggs, are at room temperature for better mixing.
