Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) for 20 minutes before starting the batter (Note 8). Place shelf in the middle of the oven.
- Grease 2 x 20cm / 8" cake pans with butter, then line with parchment / baking paper. (Note 9 more pan sizes) Best to use cake pan without loose base, if you can.
- Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Beat eggs for 30 seconds on speed 6 of a Stand Mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or hand beater.
- With the beater still going, pour the sugar in over 45 seconds.
- Then beat for 7 minutes on speed 8, or until tripled in volume and white.
- Heat Milk-Butter: While egg is beating, place butter and milk in a heatproof jug and microwave 2 minutes on high to melt butter (or use stove). Do not let milk bubble and boil (foam ok). Don't do this ahead and let the milk cool (this affects rise).
- Gently add flour: When the egg is whipped, scatter 1/3 flour across surface, then beat on Speed 1 for 5 seconds. Add half remaining flour, then mix on Speed 1 for 5 sec. Add remaining flour, then mix on Speed 1 for 5 - 10 sec until the flour is just mixed in. Once you can't see flour, stop straight away.
- Lighten hot milk with some Egg Batter: Pour hot milk, vanilla and oil into the now empty flour bowl. Add about 1 1/2 cups (2 ladles or so) of the Egg Batter into the Milk-Butter (don't need to be 100% accurate with amount). Use a whisk to mix until smooth - you can be vigorous here. Will look foamy.
- Slowly add milk: Turn beater back on Speed 1 then pour the Milk mixture into the Egg Batter over 15 seconds, then turn beater off.
- Scrape and final mix: Scrape down sides and base of bowl. Beat on Speed 1 for 10 seconds - batter should now be smooth and pourable.
- Pour batter into pans.
- Knock out bubbles: Bang each cake pan on the counter 3 times to knock out big bubbles (Note 10 for why)
- Bake 30 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean.
- Remove from oven. Cool in cake pans for 15 minutes, then gently turn out onto cooling racks. If using as layer cakes, cool upside down - slight dome will flatten perfectly. Level cake = neat layers.
- Frost with frosting of choice, or cream and fresh berries or jam. See list of ideas in post!
- Beat butter with paddle attachment in stand mixer for 3 minutes on high until it changes from yellow to almost white, and it becomes fluffy and creamy.
- Add icing sugar / powdered sugar gradually in 3 lots, beating slowly (to avoid a powder storm) then once mostly incorporated, beat on high for a full 3 minutes until fluffy.
- Add vanilla and milk, then beat for a further 30 seconds. Use milk only if needed to make it lovely and soft but still holds it's form (eg for piping). Use immediately. (If you make ahead, refrigerate then beat to re-fluff).

THE BEST WHITE CAKE RECIPE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by lining the bottoms with a round of parchment paper and generously greasing and flouring the sides. Be sure to shake out excess flour.
- In a stand mixer (or using an electric mixer), beat butter on medium-low speed until creamy.
- Add sugar and oil and beat until all ingredients are well-combined and creamy.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and then stir in your vanilla extract.
- In separate bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Measure out your milk.
- With mixer on medium speed, gradually alternate between adding the flour mixture and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until each one is almost completely combined before adding the next.
- Pause occasionally to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl.
- In separate bowl combine your egg whites and using a hand-mixer on high-speed beat until stiff peaks form.
- Using a spatula, gently fold your egg whites into your batter. Take care to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so that ingredients are well-combined, and take care not to over-mix.
- Evenly divide cake batter into prepared pans.
- Bake on 350F for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake layer comes out clean or with few crumbs (should not be wet). For best results, rotate your cake pans halfway through baking to ensure even baking.
- Cakes will be a light golden brown when done baking.
- Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the inside rim of each pan and invert each onto a cooling rack.
- Allow to cool completely before covering with buttercream frosting*. I used a double batch of my recipe (linked above) to thoroughly cover and decorate this cake.

Steps:
- Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into two 8-inch round prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes at 350°F, until a cake tester or toothpick comes out mostly clean (not wet).
- Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.

46 OF THE BEST BUNDT CAKE RECIPES - PUREWOW
From purewow.com
Published 2021-10-13
- Cardamom Cream-Filled Bundt Cake. This layered, light-as-air beauty is inspired by a Swedish dessert called semlor, a type of yeasted cream bun.
- Snickerdoodle Chocolate Chunk Bundt Cake. Two iconic cookies unite to create this cinnamon-laced cake. Don’t even get us started on the two-ingredient chocolate glaze on top.
- Almond, Ricotta, Olive Oil and Lemon Drizzle Cake. Lemon drizzle cake is a British essential (shoutout to you, Mary Berry). This take is just as delicious but modernized and simplified.
- Chocolate Dump Cake. Ah, the dump cake: Throw all the ingredients into a single mixing bowl, stir the batter, pour it into a pan and let your oven do the rest.
- Mini Citrus Monkey Bread. The only thing better than a Bundt pan is 12 teeny-tiny Bundt pans. The minis are the key to baking these orange-lemon gems. Did we mention they start with store-bought pizza dough?
- Baileys Pumpkin Spice and Original Irish Cream Bundt Cake. Due to the duo of liqueurs, this dessert is essentially two cakes in one. It’s begging for a spot on your Thanksgiving dessert table.
- Strawberry Rhubarb Bundt Cake. Spring has sprung in this light and fruity treat. Think an impossibly moist vanilla cake (thanks, Greek yogurt) studded with freshly chopped rhubarb and strawberries.
- Gingerbread Bundt Cake. Not only is the batter loaded with spices like ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom, but it’s also spiked with molasses and buttermilk for depth of flavor and tenderness.
- Glazed Vegan Chocolate Bundt Cake. Because no one’s diet should stand between them and dessert. Since the recipe is egg- and dairy-free and calls for vegan semisweet chocolate chips, it’s just the compromise for your plant-based dinner guests.
- Sweet Potato Bundt Cake with Maple Icing. Your go-to fall veggie side actually works wonders in desserts like pies, brownies and cookies, even without the help of mini marshmallows.
