#BundtBakers ~ Easy Vanilla Bundt Cake

#BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all of our lovely Bundts by following our Pinterest board. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.

This wonderful group is administered by Stacy of Food Lust People Love. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about BundtBakers, can be found on our home page.

Our hostess this month is Patricia from Patty's Cake, and she invited us to get creative with post-Holiday belt tightening with just FIVE ingredients for today's bundt cakes.

This cake is simple - and it was definitely not what I was expecting. To be honest I had no idea what to expect! It was reminiscent of angel food cake, but a little more dense. It had a spongy consistency - and really called for some juicy macerated berries for added moisture and texture. It's a wonderful "base" to play with; I think serving this as the base to strawberry shortcake would be perfection!

Easy Vanilla Bundt Cake from Butter with a Side of Bread

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping: Powdered Sugar
Serving suggestion: Macerated Strawberries and Cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Blend eggs and sugar on medium-high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer until lightened in color and well combined. Reduce speed to low and add in the vanilla and flour just until combined - do not overmix.
3. Spray a bundt pan generously with baking spray and add in the batter.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 40-60 minutes (check at 40 minutes for doneness, and continue baking until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean).
5. Allow to cool about 15 minutes before inverting onto cooling rack, and completing the cooling process.
6. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving if desired.

I recommend serving this with something like macerated strawberries for added moisture. The texture is reminiscent of angel food cake.
