Journalist Lily Morgan here, bringing you the latest in baking trends and recipes. After a year of pandemic baking, I decided it was time to tackle the one baking trend I had been avoiding: bundt cakes. So, for this 2023 edition, I’ve compiled a recipe for nothing but bundt cakes!
Contents
Ingredients
For the cake, you’ll need the following: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and coconut extract.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and mix until combined.
Add in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and coconut extract and mix until combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a plate. Let it cool completely before serving.
