Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon butternut flavoring
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and generously butter and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a stand mixer or hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined after each addition to avoid overmixing.
Stir in the vanilla extract and butternut flavoring until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is fully cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired before serving. Slice and enjoy!
