Ingredients For Bundt Coffee Cake Recipe
- Sugar (white and powdered): Adds sweetness to the cake and glaze.
- Butter (room temperature): Provides richness and moisture.
- Eggs (large): Bind the ingredients together and add structure.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor of the cake.
- All-purpose flour: When measuring the flour, spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife instead of scooping it directly. This keeps you from adding too much flour.
- Baking soda and baking powder: Help the cake to rise.
- Sour cream: Adds moisture and a slight tanginess.
- Ground cinnamon and sugar mixture: Creates the classic coffee cake swirl.
- Milk (for the glaze): Thins out the powdered sugar for the glaze.
How to Make Coffee Bundt Cake
Start by creaming the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer. Mix until light and fluffy. Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add the vanilla and mix well. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream. Mix just until everything is combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the batter into a greased Bundt pan. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together, then sprinkle it evenly over the batter in the pan.
Add the remaining batter on top by spoonfuls, trying to cover the cinnamon-sugar mixture as best as you can. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then, place a plate on top of the cake, turn it upside down, and release it onto the plate to cool completely.
While it cools, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top, slice it, and enjoy!
Tips For Coffee Cake Bundt Cake
Tip 1: Make sure that your butter is at room temperature before starting. This makes creaming it with sugar much easier and results in a better texture.
Tip 2: When adding the cinnamon sugar layer, don't be too precise. The fun of this cake is in the swirls and layers you get when you cut into it.
Tip 3: Let the cake cool completely before you drizzle the glaze. If the cake is slightly warm, the glaze will melt and run off.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ¾ cup butter room temperature
- 3 eggs large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in two parts, alternating with sour cream, and mix briefly after each addition.
- Pour half of the batter into a greased bundt pan.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture over the batter in the pan.
- Spoon the remaining batter over the filling, covering it as well as you can.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate or cooling rack.
- Allow it to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, mix powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth, then drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes
- Be sure your butter's at room temp before you start. It'll make creaming it with sugar a breeze and give you a better texture.
- Don't worry about being too precise with the cinnamon sugar layer. The charm of this cake is in the swirls and layers you see when you slice it.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding the glaze. If it's even a little warm, the glaze will just melt and slide off.
