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.

Looks awesome! Not sure if I'm missing something, but where does the chocolately top part come from...or is that just the way it comes out once it is turned out to cool? Want to give it a try, but want to make sure I am "getting it". Please advise. Thanks!
Tammy says
Hi Carmel, Thank you for stopping by. No chocolate in this cake...that's how it came out. Golden on the bottom once I flipped over into a cake plate. Enjoy and let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Toodles~
