Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- Prepare Pan: Grease and flour your Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking and to help in easy removal after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which will help create a tender cake texture.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to fully combine and add structure.
- Flavoring: Add the vanilla extract and mix to evenly distribute the flavor throughout the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry mixture, gently mixing after each addition to keep the batter smooth and uniform.
- Add Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to distribute them evenly without causing the colors to bleed into the batter.
- Fill Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully baked.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better cake texture.
- Use superfine sugar if possible to help it dissolve quicker and create a finer crumb.
- Do not overmix once you add the flour to avoid a dense cake.
- If you prefer, you can dust the fried Bundt cake with powdered sugar or add a simple vanilla glaze after cooling.
- For best results, use high-quality rainbow sprinkles that won’t bleed their colors excessively during baking.
