Snickerdoodle Bundt Cake: A Soft, Cinnamon-Sugar Classic in Cake Form


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale

For the cake:

  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1½ cups (3 sticks / 340g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

For the cinnamon-sugar swirl:

  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the vanilla glaze:

  • 1½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 23 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
  2. Make batter: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    In a stand mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (~4 min). Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
    Alternate adding dry ingredients and sour cream, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
  3. Make swirl: Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
  4. Assemble: Pour half the batter into pan. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top with remaining batter. Use a knife to gently swirl once or twice (don’t overmix).
  5. Bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and edges pull away from pan.
  6. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then invert onto wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
💡 Tip: For extra snickerdoodle flair, sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar before glazing!
