Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Bundt Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Generously grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
4. Alternately add the flour mixture and sour cream to the batter, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!

Step 3: Create the Cinnamon Swirl

1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
2. Pour half of the cake batter into the Bundt pan, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
3. Add the remaining batter on top and use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon into the batter for a marbled effect.

Step 4: Bake the Cake

1. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
2. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Make the Glaze (Optional)

1. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Drizzle over the cooled cake for a sweet finishing touch.
