03 -
3 large eggs
04 -
300 g granulated sugar
05 -
227 g unsalted butter, soft
06 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 -
0.5 teaspoon salt
08 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
09 -
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
10 -
260 g all-purpose flour
→ Cinnamon Swirl
11 -
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
12 -
110 g brown sugar, packed
→ Finishing
13 -
Some powdered sugar for topping
# Steps:
01 -
Once it's all the way cool, sprinkle on a good layer of powdered sugar. Cut it up and dig in.
02 -
Set the pan in the middle of the oven. Let it bake 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean. Wait 10 minutes, then flip the cake out gently onto a rack.
03 -
Spoon half the batter in your greased Bundt pan. Toss half the cinnamon sugar mix over it. Add the rest of the batter and top with what's left of the cinnamon sugar. Run a knife through everything a few times to swirl it all together. Go for a loose figure-eight shape.
04 -
Combine the brown sugar and one tablespoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Make sure they're really stirred together.
05 -
Toss in a third of your dry mix, then half the sour cream. Repeat this by adding another third of the dry mix and what's left of the sour cream. End with the rest of your dry mix. Just get it mixed—don’t overdo it.
06 -
With a big bowl, beat the soft butter and sugar for 3 or 4 minutes until it looks pale and fluffy. Crack in one egg at a time, mixing after each. Then add your vanilla and give it a good stir.
07 -
Grab a mid-sized bowl and use a whisk to mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until it looks all the same.
08 -
Crank the oven to 175°C. Rub a 10-cup Bundt pan all over with butter or spray. Make sure you hit every part.
# Notes:
01 -
Go easy swirling so your cinnamon layer doesn't disappear. And make sure you let it cool before adding powdered sugar or it'll just melt in.
