Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter softened unsalted, 1 stick
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs large
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your Mini Bundt cake pans thoroughly with butter or baking spray, and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared Mini Bundt cake pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
- Remove the pans from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Gently loosen the edges with a thin knife or spatula, then invert the pans onto a cooling rack to release the cakes. Allow them to cool completely.
