Warm, buttery Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake featuring a moist sour cream base swirled with cinnamon sugar for a cozy, flavorful treat perfect for gatherings or afternoon tea.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Cinnamon Swirl

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cake texture.
  3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next for a smooth batter.
  4. Mix in Sour Cream and Vanilla: Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract to add moisture and flavor to the batter.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for an even distribution of the leavening agents.
  6. Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and a dense cake.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
  8. Layer the Batter and Swirl: Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over this layer, then pour the remaining batter on top.
  9. Create the Swirl: Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter to create a marbled effect but be careful not to overmix.
  10. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean indicating doneness.
  11. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and light.
  • Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness before removing the cake from the oven.
  • Letting the cake cool completely before slicing helps maintain the cake’s structure and appearance.
  • The cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
