Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan or a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Baking the Cake
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk (beginning and ending with the dry ingredients). Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the Glaze
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until the glaze is smooth and pourable. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top.
Serving
- Slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Don’t forget to use room temperature ingredients for the best results. Store properly to keep the cake fresh.
