    Moist Sugar Cake

    Written by Living the Gourmet, a trusted food and lifestyle site since 2008.

    Jump to Recipe

    I made this by request for Mother's Day.

    It may look complicated but the truth is, it's a cinch to make.  I added the extra icing drizzle just because it was a special occasion.

    The best part about this bundt is that the ingredients are simple as well.  Most of us probably already have the ingredients on hand.  I hope you give it a try.

    • Prep Time: 8 minutes
    • Cook Time: 40 minutes
    • Total Time: 48 minutes
    • Yield: 8-10 Servings 1x

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
    • 1 1/4 cups sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup whole milk

    Crumb Topping:

    • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup sugar

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bundt pan.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    3. In a stand blender, cream the butter with the cream cheese, 1 1/4 cups of sugar, the eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the 1/2 cup of milk, a little at a time. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
    4. In the same stand blender, mix the 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup sugar to crumbles.
    5. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the cake, and bake for 30-40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Once cool, turn onto a cake platter or serving dish. **note: scoop up all those loose crumbs and sprinkle them on top of the icing!
    6. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup confectioner's sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2-3 tablespoons milk. Whisk until thick and smooth. Drizzle over cake. Allow a few minutes for the icing to set before serving.
