Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened at room temperature
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream (or more as needed to thin)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (½ of a stick) salted butter
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and lightly flour a tube or Bundt pan, ensuring every corner is coated.
- Sift the flour three times to aerate it and prevent lumps in the batter.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5-6 minutes. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition, and remember to scrape the bowl's sides and bottom periodically.
- With the mixer on low, alternate adding the sifted flour and heavy cream, starting and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and tap it on the counter to remove any large air bubbles.
- Bake in the center of the oven for about 75-80 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown and the edges pull away from the pan. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate or wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container to keep it fresh longer.
This cake can be topped with a glaze made from powdered sugar and vanilla for an extra touch.
