Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for the swirl)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Optional topping: powdered sugar or light vanilla glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly, coating all grooves with butter and a light layer of flour to prevent sticking.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined, then set aside.
- Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until the mixture looks pale and fluffy, which helps create a soft cake texture.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Add the dry mixture in portions, alternating with the sour cream and milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and mix gently until just combined without overmixing.
- Stir the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl until evenly blended.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter, add the remaining batter, then top with the remaining cinnamon sugar and gently swirl with a knife to create visible layers.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
- Serving with a powdered sugar dusting adds a nice touch.
