Description

A warm and comforting Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake made with buttery batter and layers of cinnamon-sugar, perfect for cozy gatherings or a sweet afternoon treat.


Ingredients

Scale

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 large eggs

1 cup whole milk or buttermilk

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for swirl)

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

12 tbsp milk (for glaze)


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan thoroughly with butter and flour or non-stick spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla.

5. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

6. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon for the swirl.

7. Pour half the batter into the Bundt pan, then sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar. Repeat with remaining batter and swirl mixture.

8. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

9. Once cooled, whisk powdered sugar with milk to make glaze and drizzle over the cake.

Notes

For added depth, include a dash of nutmeg or swap some sugar for maple syrup. Cake can be frozen without glaze for up to 3 months.
