Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- ½ cup milk
- For the cinnamon swirl: ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Optional glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry mixture to wet, alternating with sour cream and milk, until batter is smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour for the swirl.
- Pour half the batter into the pan. Sprinkle swirl mixture evenly over batter. Top with remaining batter. Gently swirl with a knife.
- Bake 55–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes before turning out of the pan.
- For glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, then drizzle over cooled cake.
Notes
- Let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out for clean removal.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream with similar results.
- To store, cover and keep at room temperature for 2–3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- For a thinner glaze, add a bit more milk; for a thicker glaze, use less.
