Abuelita's tips for a perfect bundt cake at home

Bundt cakes look fancy, but they are one of the most forgiving cakes you can bake. Here are the tips we learned standing next to our grandmother in the kitchen.

Basic recipe

3 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt

1 cup butter (room temperature) and 2 cups sugar

5 eggs, 1 cup milk, 2 tsp vanilla

Cream the butter and sugar until pale, add eggs one at a time, then alternate the dry ingredients and the milk. Bake at 325°F for about 60–70 minutes.

Abuelita's tricks

Butter every corner of the pan, then dust with flour

Let the cake rest 10 minutes before turning it out — not more

A splash of orange juice in the batter makes it sing
