A timeless and elegant Classic Vanilla Bundt Cake with a soft, buttery crumb and a rich vanilla flavor. Perfect for any occasion, this cake is delicious on its own or topped with a simple glaze or dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Powdered sugar or glaze (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in sour cream and milk until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better rise.
  • Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased and floured to prevent sticking.
  • This cake pairs well with fresh berries or whipped cream for serving.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
