Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake

This Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake is my classic and--dare I say--perfect cream cheese pound cake with a cinnamon-sugar layer in the center and a sweet glaze drizzled on top. It’s perfectly moist and dense, with flavor in every bite! I happily enjoy this cake any time, whether as a breakfast treat with my coffee, a holiday dessert, or an afternoon snack all year round!

Ingredients

Filling

Topping

  • 1 cup (120 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with baking spray. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and butter, mixing on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Gradually add the granulated sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the cake flour, mixing until just combined. Then, gradually add the buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
  • In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  • Carefully pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon mixture, spreading it to cover as much of the cinnamon layer as possible.
  • Bake for 75-80 minutes, checking for doneness at 1 hour. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs but no wet batter. The crust should be a dark golden brown around the edges and lighter in the center.
  • Allow the cake to cool to room temperature in the pan, then invert it onto a serving plate.

Topping

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust the milk if needed to reach a drizzle consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to run down the sides.
