1-First things first, we’re making a beautiful bundt cake with that dreamy vanilla glaze, so let’s dive into the steps.

Before we start, make sure your ingredients are prepped and your oven is ready to go it’ll make everything smoother.

2-Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your bundt pan well to keep that cake from sticking and ensure it slides out like a dream. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: sift together the 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Y’all, sifting really helps get that light, airy texture we want.

3-Next, in another bowl, cream the 1 cup unsalted butter and 3 cups granulated sugar until it’s fluffy and pale this step is crucial for that moist crumb. Add the 6 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each to keep the batter smooth. Then, stir in the 1 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract for that extra flavor pop. Now, gently fold in the dry mixture until just combined don’t overmix, or you’ll lose that tender bite!

4-Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a rack. For the glaze, whisk together the 16 ounces powdered sugar, 12 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, a generous pinch of fine sea salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake. Y’all, this step-by-step makes it foolproof, and the result is pure joy!
