Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (for swirl)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or use baking spray with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and 2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ⅓ cup sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
  6. Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Add remaining batter on top and gently swirl with a butter knife to create a ribbon effect.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to maintain a soft crumb.
  • Greek yogurt can be substituted 1:1 for sour cream.
  • To enhance presentation, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle a simple glaze once cooled.
  • Check for doneness at 45 minutes to avoid overbaking.
