A warm and comforting Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake with a magnificent swirl of cinnamon and a tender crumb, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar + 2 tsp ground cinnamon (for the swirl)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your Bundt pan generously.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in another bowl.
- Combine the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream until just combined.
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Layer half the batter into the Bundt pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mix, then cover with the remaining batter. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the cinnamon-sugar on top.
- Swirl gently with a knife to create a swirl effect.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing, and avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake tender.
