This classic vanilla bundt cake is based on my moist butter pound cake in a bundt pan. Soft, buttery and moist that's perfect on its own with powdered sugar. You can bake it in a bundt pan, or a loaf pan.
Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F/165°C/Gas mark 3. Butter and flour a 10-cup bundt cake pan, making sure to get the nooks and crannies so the cake releases easily. You can also use a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
Dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside
240 g Cake flour, 1 tsp Baking powder, ½ tsp Salt
Wet ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla extract,
227 g Unsalted butter , 300 g White sugar, 4 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Dry to wet ingredients: Next, add the flour and buttermilk in three batches. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure a smooth batter.
240 ml Buttermilk
Bake: Pour into prepared bundt pan. Spread evenly with a spatula. Tap a few times to remove any air pockets. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Vanilla glaze (optional): In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar with milk and other flavorings. Stir until you have a thick pouring consistency. Pour over cooled cake (warm cake will melt the glaze)
