Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Grease a 10-cup bundt pan or loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, then dust with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the buttermilk to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top.
