Ingredients

For the Cake:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

1 cup packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Bundt Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.

Make the Cake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Add Eggs and Flavor: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix just until combined.

Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining ground cinnamon. If using, mix in the chopped pecans.

Layer the Batter and Swirl: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture on top. Use a knife to gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect, being careful not to over-mix.

Bake the Cake: Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with more milk if necessary.

Glaze the Cake: Once the Bundt cake is completely cool, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve slices of the Cinnamon Roll Bundt Cake warm or at room temperature.
