Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks/227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
- 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (1 stick/113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-4 tablespoons milk or cream, as needed
Instructions:
- Grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45-55 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add milk or cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost it with the cream cheese frosting. A simple dollop in the centre is Nothing Bundt Cake's style.
