Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt cake pan generously with butter and flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat granulated sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and combine until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Glazing
- In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth. Adjust the cream for desired consistency.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
Notes
For best results, use fresh buttermilk. If unavailable, create a substitute by adding a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk.
