There’s nothing better than a recipe that’s been in a family for generations. You know it’s gonna be good! (Cause if it wasn’t… Mom would have to spill the tea to grandma, and grandma might have to break out the rolling pin). In the case of Claire Saffitz Bundt Cake Recipe, I can attest to this. And so can my husband, Josh Flagg, and Olimpia.

I made this recipe TWICE, and I must say it is just as easy as Claire says it is. So, take out that bundt cake pan because this will probably become a family favorite after you try it.

The dessert cake is fluffy, moist, and has a rich, sweet taste. It is everything a dessert person could ever wish for.

What’s even better is how easy it is to make… It is not called the EASIEST cake recipe for nuffin!

EQUIPMENT

Electric mixer
Mixing bowls
Bundt cake pan
Oven
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons

INGREDIENTS

For the Dessert Cake:

3 cups of All-purpose flour
2 ⅓ cups of Sugar
1 teaspoon of Kosher salt
1 teaspoon of Baking powder
2 tablespoons of Poppy seeds
1 ⅓ cups of Whole milk
1 ⅓ cups of Neutral oil, such as vegetable or grapeseed
2 teaspoons of Vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoon of Almond extract
3 large Eggs

‍

For the Glaze:

¼ cup of Orange juice
¾ cup of Powdered sugar
1 ½ teaspoon of Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of Almond extract
2 teaspoons of Melted butter

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F
Lightly grease the bundt cake pan with vegetable oil. Sift some flour into it so that the cake wouldn’t stick. Set aside.
Into the electric mixer bowl, add the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and poppy seeds. Set the electric mixer to mix at low speed for 2-3 minutes.
Time to add the liquid ingredients. Add the milk, oil, vanilla and almond extracts, and crack in the eggs. Set the electric mixer to mix at an even higher speed for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the cake batter into the bundt cake pan, then place it in the oven to bake for an hour and 10 minutes.

‍

Time to make the Glaze.

Into a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, almond extract, and melted butter. Whisk vigorously to combine all the ingredients.
Once your cake is ready, take it out of the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes before attempting to get it out of the pan. Poke tiny holes in it with a skewer once you’ve got it out of the pan.
Use a pastry brush to apply the glaze or pour it over the cake if you wish. Serve immediately.

Notes

To know if your cake is well baked, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. You’d know it’s ready if it comes out clean. If cake chunks cling to the toothpick, it needs to spend more time in the oven.
