Fluffy Vanilla Bundt Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream, room temperature

Instructions

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

If you want, I can also give you a simple vanilla glaze recipe that pairs perfectly with this cake. Would you like me to add it?
