Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a standard 10-inch bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick baking spray, and lightly dust it with flour.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients in the order they are listed: softened butter, granulated sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, blend the ingredients until the batter is smooth and no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 5

Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.

Step 6

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 8

Slice and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
