Description
This Bundt Cake With Vanilla Glaze is amazingly moist but is firm enough to hold its shape. It is soft, dense, golden brown, and sweet to satisfy your cravings. You also have the freedom to decorate it with fruits and nuts to make it look prettier.
Ingredients
Cake:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter (softened)
2 eggs (at room temperature)
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vanilla Glaze:
2 cups powdered confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and then grease and flour a bundt pan.
- Using a stand mixer at medium speed, beat granulated sugar, eggs, and butter until well blended.
- Reduce speed to low. Add milk and vanilla.
- Change the speed back to medium and mix well.
- Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat for approximately 1 minute or until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared bundt pan and then bake for about 30 minutes.
- Using a knife, gently loosen the cake from the pan and then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Vanilla Glaze:
- Combine powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.
Notes
- The glaze should be thick enough to hold its drip on the cake. But at the same time, it should be runny enough to pour. If it is too thick, add more milk.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 50 minutes
How to Store
Refrigerating your bundt cake will dry it out, so it is better to store it at room temperature. Simply put it in an airtight container or wrap it with plastic wrap. You can double wrap it as well – first with plastic wrap and then foil. That is if you wish to freeze it.
