Ingredients Substitutions
Butter Unlike many of my baking recipes where I use unsalted butter I used salted butter in this cake. You will notice that no other salt is added to the batter. If using unsalted butter you may want to add about 14 teaspoon to 12 teaspoon of kosher salt to the batter.

Sour Cream Sour cream adds moisture and a creamy texture to the cake. It also provides a subtle tangy flavor which complements the sweetness of the cake and enhances its overall richness.
Cake Flour Cake flour is a lowprotein flour that results in a tender and delicate crumb texture. It contains less gluten which helps prevent the cake from becoming too dense or chewy. If you dont have any on hand you can make your own to use in this recipe.
Buttermilk Buttermilk contributes to the cakes moisture and tenderness.
Glaze Adding the glaze enhances the overall flavor and appearance of the bundt cake. In addition it also helps in maintaining its moisture and freshness.
Testing Vanilla Bundt Cake For Doneness
A common question when it comes to baking cakes is how to know when it is done. To check for the doneness of this vanilla bundt cake insert a clean toothpick into the cake. If the toothpick comes out with a few crumbs but no wet batter it is done. If the toothpick is completely clean the cake is probably overdone. You could also use a finger to lightly press on the cake it should feel firm. As for appearance the cake should be golden brown and the edges may have slightly pulled away from the sides of the pan.
Can I Use A Different Pan?
Sure! If you dont have a bundt pan you could use a different baking dish. A few options are a 913inch baking dish 2 9inch cake pans or a springform pan just to name a few. Keep in mind that depending on the baking dish you use the baking times
