Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 to 3 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and flour a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, beating 20 seconds after each, then mix in vanilla.
  3. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk+sour cream, mixing just until combined.
  4. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack to cool completely.
  5. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla paste into a thick glaze. Drizzle over the fully cooled cake, let set, and serve.

Notes

Let the cake cool fully before glazing; otherwise the glaze will melt and slide off. For the cleanest slices, use a serrated knife.
