Cake Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together.
Mixing the Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until fluffy and light in color.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated before adding the next.
  3. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until no dry flour remains.
Making the Swirl
  1. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and brown sugar.
  2. Spoon half the batter into the Bundt pan, sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then layer with the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar.
  3. Use a knife to swirl through the batter lightly.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before inverting onto a plate.

Notes

For best results, ensure the Bundt pan is well-greased, mix only until the flour is incorporated, and allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
