👩🍳 Step by Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Pan & Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter & Sugar
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step helps create a soft texture.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients
Mix in sour cream (or cream cheese) for extra richness and moisture.
6. Combine Dry & Wet
Add dry ingredients gradually, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
7. Bake the Cake
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool & Release
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a rack and cool completely.
