Ingredients
UnitsScale
2 1/2cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1cup unsalted butter, softened
2cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs & Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, mixing until smooth.
Bake: Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
Notes
For added flavor, mix in a teaspoon of almond or lemon extract.
Serve with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a simple vanilla glaze.
Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
