Description
Moist and fluffy bundt cake with a delightful glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup 7up (not diet or zero sugar)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
- 2–3 tablespoons 7up
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 10-cup bundt pan with softened butter and a light layer of flour covering it. Set aside.
- Using the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take at least 3 minutes to get it fluffy, cloud-like looking, and much paler in color.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed throughout the process to make sure everything is getting incorporated and whipped well.
- Add in the vanilla extract and sea salt, and mix until combined.
- Alternate mixing in the flour and 7up until everything is well incorporated. This means add half of the flour and mix. Add half of the 7up and mix. Repeat this with the remaining halves, making sure to beat on low or medium-low speed between each addition, just until combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out 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 the cake out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- Add the powdered sugar into a small bowl, and slowly whisk in the 7up until the mixture reaches your desired consistency.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, cut into slices, and enjoy!
