Instructions
Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with butter and dust with flour.
Pro tip: Ensure even distribution of flour to prevent sticking.
Cream butter and sugar
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Pro tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Add eggs and vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pro tip: Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Pro tip: Sift dry ingredients for a finer texture.
Combine wet and dry ingredients
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense cake.
Fill Bundt pan
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Pro tip: Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake cake
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Pro tip: Check at 50 minutes as oven times may vary.
Cool and serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Pro tip: Use a spatula to gently loosen edges if needed.
Tips & Tricks
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
