Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make This Bundt Cake Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can bake the cake a day in advance and store it covered at room temperature. Pour the syrup over the cake just before serving.

Can I Substitute the Butter With Oil?

Yes, you can use vegetable oil in place of the butter, but the cake’s texture will be slightly different. Butter adds richness and flavor that oil may not fully replicate.

How Do I Prevent my Bundt Cake From Sticking to The Pan?

Grease and flour the Bundt pan thoroughly, or use a non-stick spray with flour built in. This ensures the cake releases smoothly.

Can I Add Fruit to The Cake Batter?

Yes, fresh or dried fruit can be added to the batter. Just toss the fruit in a little flour before folding it into the batter to prevent it from sinking to the bottom.

Can I Make This Cake Dairy-Free?

You can substitute the butter with a dairy-free butter alternative and the milk with a plant-based option like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.

How to Make Fluffy Vanilla Bundt Cake

Collect the butter and sugar in a bowl then work them with an electric whisk until you obtain a smooth and creamy consistency. Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating them little by little with the whisk.

When all the eggs are completely absorbed, flavor with the vanilla extract and add a pinch of salt.

Proceed by pouring half of the milk and half of the flour, then mix everything together with the whisks to incorporate them.

Add the remaining milk.

Finish with the remaining amount of flour and the baking powder.

Mix all the ingredients one last time until you get a fluffy and airy dough.

Transfer it into a 25cm diameter donut mould, levelling the surface well with a spatula and cook in a preheated static oven at 360°F/180°C for 50 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the syrup: collect the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring them to the fire.

Once the sugar has melted, flavor with the vanilla extract.

Mix the syrup, then set it aside so that it cools down.

Once ready, take the cake out of the oven and let it cool, then remove it from the mold and place it on a serving plate. Brush it generously with the prepared syrup and complete everything with a sprinkling of icing sugar.

Enjoy!
