Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Thoroughly grease and flour a standard bundt pan.
Aproximativ 5 min.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Whisking aerates the flour and distributes the leavening evenly, similar to sifting.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 5-7 minutes until pale, light, and fluffy.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: This step is crucial for incorporating air, which gives the cake its structure. Don't rush it.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until it is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Mix in the vanilla extract until just combined.
- 6
With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Mix only until the last streaks of flour disappear. Overmixing develops gluten and can result in a tough cake.
- 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Aproximativ 55 min.
- 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cooling in the pan first helps the cake set so it doesn't break when you turn it out.
