Spice Bundt Cake
Enjoy this warm spiced bundt cake with a sweet powdered sugar glaze. It is a simple and delicious classic.
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder* 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the powdered sugar glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate between adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Blend until just combined – don't overmix!
- Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk for the glaze. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk and add more for a thinner consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake
Notes
- For a stronger spice flavor, increase the amount of cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Don't overbake! For a moist cake, start checking for doneness around the 40 minute mark.
- This cake is delicious on its own, but try adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for extra crunch.
