Treat your ingredients with care...
- Butter — Make sure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.
- Buttermilk — If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Cinnamon — Use high-quality ground cinnamon for the best flavor.
- Powdered sugar — Sift the powdered sugar before dusting it on the cake for a smoother appearance.
- Bundt cake pan — Grease and flour the pan thoroughly to ensure easy release of the cake.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk over the cooled cake.
- Serve the bundt cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
- Experiment with different spices such as nutmeg or cardamom to add a unique twist to the cinnamon swirl.
- Add a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the cinnamon swirl mixture for added texture and flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Serving advice
Slice the bundt cake into generous portions and serve it on a dessert plate. Dust each slice with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Presentation advice
To enhance the visual appeal, place a few cinnamon sticks or a small bouquet of fresh mint leaves on the serving platter alongside the cake. This will add a touch of sophistication and complement the flavors of the cinnamon swirl.
