Equipment
- Large Bundt Pan
Ingredients
- 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour or more as needed
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ degrees. Grease a 9-inch bundt cake pan with cooking spray and dust with flour to coat the inside.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl.2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, ½ tsp salt
- Add eggs, milk, and vegetable oil and mix with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth.3 eggs, ¾ cup milk, ¾ cup vegetable oil
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan, tapping the pan on the counter to fill and knock out any air pockets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. NOTE: Some bundt cake pans and ovens vary, so if the toothpick does not come out clean, check again in 5 minute intervals.
- Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then invert cake carefully onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely before transferring to a cake plate or dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Flavor Boost: Add ½ teaspoon of almond extract or lemon extract to the batter for a new flavor, or a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced version.
- Prepare Your Pan: Grease and flour your Bundt pan thoroughly, ensuring every crevice is coated. This is crucial for easy release and a perfect shape.
- Don't Overfill: Fill the Bundt pan no more than two-thirds full to prevent overflow during baking and ensure even cooking.
- Easy Release: After baking, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then use a spatula to gently loosen the edges before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Finishing Touch: Drizzle your cooled cake with a simple vanilla glaze, chocolate ganache, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
