Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated (don’t overmix!).

3. Create the Cinnamon Swirl

  1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Pour half of the batter into the Bundt pan.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  4. Add the remaining batter and smooth the top.

4. Bake the Cake

  1. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Add the Finishing Touches

Cinnamon Sugar Coating (Optional):

  1. Brush the cake with melted butter.
  2. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture for extra flavor and crunch.

Glaze (Optional):

Don’t overmix – Keeps the cake light and tender.
Grease the Bundt pan well – Prevents sticking and makes for an easy release.
