Ingredients
  

Cake Batter
  • 1 cup butter unsalted, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 eggs room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk or sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Bundt Pan
  • Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 4–5 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add to the wet mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Optional: For glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Notes

To freeze, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag. Thaws beautifully and tastes fresh when rewarmed.
