Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup real butter
  • 6 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted (recommended brand))
  • 1 cup whipping cream (NOT WHIPPED (also known as heavy cream))
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (I use this)

Instruction

  • *Recipe is correct as written, there is no baking soda or baking powder in it. This cake is leavened, traditionally, with eggs.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Spray a 10-inch bundt or tube pan with non-stick spray or flour and grease pan, whichever you prefer. I recommend this tube pan or this bundt pan. *If you have a 2-piece, 10-inch tube pan, wrap aluminum foil around the outside of the pan to prevent any batter from leaking out.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat on medium butter until smooth. Add sugar and mix until smooth about 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add flour and heavy cream alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
  • Add vanilla and mix on low to medium until well combined.
  • Pour batter into a prepared 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour 15-25 minutes at 325 degrees F. Test for doneness with a wooden pick The cake will be done with no crumbs or dry crumbs remain on the pick.
  • Cool in the pan for 20 to 25 minutes before inverting onto a serving tray to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container on the countertop 3 to 4 days.
