Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 Large eggs
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional, if using unsalted butter)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the sugar to the butter, beating until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour (and salt, if using).
Step 6
With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and heavy whipping cream to the batter, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined after each addition to avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed in the batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt or tube pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 75-80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Slice and serve as is, or top with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries for added flavor.
