Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep the Pan
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add Eggs
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Alternate Dry and Wet
- Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk in batches, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Glaze
- Cool the cake for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. While the cake is still slightly warm, drizzle with vanilla glaze.
