Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buttery Cinnamon Bundt Cake.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients on the kitchen counter, creating a cozy workspace for your baking adventure.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a warm 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch Bundt pan by greasing and lightly flouring it to ensure your cake releases effortlessly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, blend together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt, stirring until they are harmoniously combined.
Step 4
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the sugar, shortening, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, reminiscent of a cloud.
Step 5
Introduce the eggs one at a time, beating well for at least a minute after each addition to achieve a velvety texture.
Step 6
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, until your batter is smooth and inviting.
Step 7
Pour the luscious batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
Step 8
Place the pan in the preheated oven and let it bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your cake is ready.
Step 9
While the cake bakes, craft a delightful syrup by combining sugar, water, butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Step 10
Stir gently until the butter melts and the mixture warms, then keep it on low heat to maintain its warmth.
Step 11
Once the cake has finished baking, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate or cooling rack.
Step 12
With a fork, poke holes around the top of the cake, inviting the syrup to soak in.
Step 13
Generously pour the warm syrup over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes for maximum flavor.
Step 14
Let the cake rest for about 30 minutes, still warm, allowing the syrup to work its magic before serving.
Step 15
Enjoy the sweet aroma and the delightful taste of your homemade creation!.
