Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
For the Caramel Glaze:
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Cake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 2: Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 3: Baking the Cake
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Making the Caramel Glaze
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Stir continuously.
- Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes until it reaches a pourable consistency.
Step 5: Assembling the Cake
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the caramel glaze over the top, allowing it to flow down the sides.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Serving Suggestions
This Caramel Bundt Cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
