Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch bundt cake pan with butter or non-stick spray, and lightly flour the pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cayenne pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat well after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract and gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even bake.
Step 7
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top generously with powdered sugar. Slice and serve as desired.
