Equipment

  • 1 Bundt pan
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

Cake Batter:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl:

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Layer Batter: Pour half the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter.
  • Bake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Serve: Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature. Pair with coffee or tea for the ultimate bundt cake breakfast experience.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, drizzle the cooled cake with a simple vanilla glaze.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
