Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly, or spray it with baking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, use an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer to cream the butter until light and fluffy.
Blend in the sour cream, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract and milk. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing until just combined to ensure a smooth batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar just before serving for a delightful finishing touch.
Slice and serve with your favorite beverage. Enjoy!
