The best part about a bundt cake is that it’s incredibly versatile and can be dressed up with a variety of different flavors and decorations. To make a classic bundt cake, you’ll need:
- 1 cup (250 ml) of vegetable oil
- 3 cups (720 ml) of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480 ml) of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) of milk
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
Instructions
Making a bundt cake is surprisingly simple. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a bundt pan with butter and dust it with flour. In a large bowl, combine the oil, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract and eggs, then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the cake to become tough.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake the cake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a plate and allowing it to cool completely. Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit, or just enjoy it as-is!
