A simple and moist Easy Bundt Cake made with classic ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Perfect for any occasion, this cake features a tender crumb and delightful vanilla flavor, baked in a classic Bundt pan for an attractive presentation.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray and dust it lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, which will incorporate air for a tender cake.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time into the creamed butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour batter and bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased Bundt pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and remove from pan: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then invert the Bundt pan onto a wire rack to release the cake and allow it to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is at room temperature for proper creaming.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and light.
  • If you don't have a Bundt pan, a tube pan or a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan can be used, adjusting bake time accordingly.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla.
  • Make sure to grease and flour the pan well to avoid sticking.
  • The cake can be dusted with powdered sugar or glazed for extra sweetness.
