This Vanilla Bundt Cake is a classic, rich dessert with a tender (SO TENDER), moist crumb and a sweet, buttery flavor. To add an extra layer of subtle sweetness, a simple vanilla glaze is poured over the cooled cake. It drizzles down the sides to add a sweet finishing touch to the cake.

Ingredients
Cake
- 1 ¼ cups (2 ½ sticks / 283.5 g) salted butter, room temperature
- 3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 8 ounces sour cream, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups (300 g) cake flour
- ¼ cup (61 g) buttermilk, room temperature
Glaze
- 2 cups (250 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with baking spray.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add in the sour cream and vanilla. Mix until just incorporated.
- Slowly add the cake flour and mix until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and pour in the buttermilk. Stir by hand until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 75-80 minutes. Check for doneness at 1 hour. (The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.) The crust will be a dark golden brown around the edges and lighter in the center.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
Glaze
- In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until you achieve a smooth and pourable glaze. Add more milk if necessary to reach the desired consistency.
- After the cake has cooled completely, pour the glaze over the top of the bundt cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
- Cut and serve. Enjoy!
