Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temp
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5-6 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • Pink gel food coloring
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare a standard bundt pan by coating it with shortening and then dusting it with flour, set aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
  • In the body of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • On medium-low speed add in the eggs one at a time.
  • Add in the vanilla and sour cream, mix until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add in the flour mixture a little at a time on low speed until incorporated, scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared bundt pan and evenly smooth out with a spatula.
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes, until golden brown and a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan, then invert onto a cake stand or plate.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until it is a thick yet pourable consistency, this will take 5-6 tablespoons of the heavy cream. Add pink gel food coloring until you reach the color you desire, add a little at a time.
  • Pour the glaze over the cake, decorate with sprinkles and serve.

Notes

  1. We always coat our bundt pans with shortening and flour, see our tips above.
  2. You can make changes to the cake itself from additions to toppings, see some of our suggestions above.
  3. Make sure cake is completely cool before icing or it will melt off.
  4. This cake is able to be frozen, again see the tips above in the post to see how to do that.
  5. Make sure you are using a standard sized bundt pan.
