Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Sifter
  • Spatula
  • 8-inch Bundt pan or deep cake pan
  • Nonstick baking spray

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk adjust for consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease and flour an 8-inch deep pan or Bundt cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula; bake for 60-80 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  • While cooling, make the cream cheese glaze by beating the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

You can substitute buttermilk with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar with 1 cup of milk. For storage, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap once cool. It stays fresh at room temperature for 3 days and can be refrigerated after the first day. For a fun twist, add lemon zest, or mix in blueberries or raspberries for added flavor. Enjoy your baking adventure!
