Ingredients

• 300 g All-purpose flour
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 150 g Unsalted butter
• 4 Eggs
• 100 ml Whole milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 100 g Raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a Gugelhupf (Bundt) pan thoroughly with butter and dust it lightly with flour.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure smooth incorporation.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or on low speed to avoid overmixing.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the raisins or chocolate chips with a spatula.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Gugelhupf pan, spreading it out smoothly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake generously with powdered sugar before serving.
