From the Cook
1/2
Cinnamon Swirl Sour Cream Bundt Cake
Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
|
Spray a bundt cake pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
3
|
Place the butter, sugar, and vanilla into a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the ingredients together on medium speed for 1 minute, or until smooth. Add the eggs and sour cream, and continue to beat for a minute more, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4
|
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl. Beat the mixture on low, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until a smooth, medium-thick batter forms.
5
|
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.
6
|
Spread 1/3 of the cake batter into the bundt pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top. Layer another 1/3 of the batter into the pan, and evenly sprinkle over the remaining cinnamon sugar. Top with the remaining batter.
7
|
Bake the bundt cake on the middle rack of oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 55-70 minutes.
8
|
Check to see that cake is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
|
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. To release the cake, run a butter knife between the edge of the cake and the pan. Turn the cake onto a large serving plate.

|
Allow the cake to cool for 1-2 hours before slicing and serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Sour Cream Secret 🥛Bring sour cream to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smoother, more evenly incorporated batter that creates a more tender crumb.
- Cinnamon Swirl Technique 🌀When creating the cinnamon swirl, use a knife or skewer to gently drag through the batter in a figure-eight pattern for the most beautiful and consistent marbling effect.
- Bundt Pan Prep Pro 🍰Thoroughly grease the bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, then dust with a mixture of flour and granulated sugar to prevent sticking and create a delicate exterior crust.
- Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Ensure all ingredients like eggs, butter, and sour cream are at room temperature to create a more uniform batter and achieve a lighter, more consistent cake texture.
- Cooling Technique 💨Allow the cake to cool in the pan for exactly 10-15 minutes before inverting to prevent breaking, then let it cool completely on a wire rack to set the structure.
