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.

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

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bundt pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
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.
In the same stand blender, mix the 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup sugar to crumbles.
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!
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.
