Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (227g), softened
- 2 cups sugar (400g)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (330g)
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup buttermilk
Glaze Ingredients
- ½ cup confectioners sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1-2 tbsp milk or cream
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Heavily spray a 10-cup bundt pan with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add 1 cup softened butter and 2 cups sugar. Mix on low to medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add Oil and Eggs: Pour in ¼ cup vegetable oil and mix until combined. Then add the eggs one at a time on medium speed, mixing well after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp kosher salt until evenly incorporated.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine ¾ cup buttermilk with 1 tbsp vanilla extract.
- Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients into the butter mixture in thirds, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top if needed.
- Bake the Cake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is set and the edges are pulling away from the pan. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup confectioners sugar, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, and 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze the Cake: Pour the glaze evenly over the cooled bundt cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.
- You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a subtle flavor twist.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to check doneness before removing from the oven.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk or cream.
- The cake keeps well covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
