Fluffy Vanilla Bundt Cake

Fluffy Vanilla Bundt Cake

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to ensure easy

removal of the cake after baking.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

This helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.

Cream the Butter and Sugar:

 In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the

mixture is light and fluffy. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes on medium speed with an electric

mixer.

Add the Eggs:

Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each

addition. This ensures that the eggs are fully incorporated and helps to add volume to the batter.

Mix in the Dry Ingredients:

With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients to the butter

mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until

combined to avoid overmixing the batter.

Add the Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the Batter into the Pan:

 Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a

spatula to ensure even baking.

Bake the Cake:

 Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the

center of the cake comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and spring back when lightly

pressed.

Cool the Cake:

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before turning it out onto a

wire rack to cool completely.

This fluffy vanilla Bundt cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Its simple yet delightful flavor
