Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour your bundt pan.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine the flour and baking powder in another bowl, then gradually add this to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, tapping gently to release air bubbles.

  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing. You can add citrus zest or swirl in some jam for variations.
