Golden Vanilla Bundt Cake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze if desired. Slice and enjoy!
