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

  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.

    I prefer cakes like this to rich and gooey (not that I don't love those, too), but I'd choose this over a chocolate layer cake. Gotta pin this!

    Hi Tammy,
    How beautiful and delicious looking as well. I love the shape of a bundt cake. Sometimes I use it for other cakes even if it doesn't require it. Love the icing and the crumb top. So yummy, I could use a piece of this Moist Sugar Cake right now with a cup of tea. Plus, I see this recipe is from "The Lucky Santangelo Cookbook" so you can't go wrong. Thanks for sharing...
    Blessings to a great rest of the week...Dottie 🙂
