I love this recipe because it makes for a perfect consistency of the cake with only a few, simple and accessible ingredients!
- Butter – It’s a wonderful transporter of flavor and makes for this dreamy and rich taste of the cake.
- All-purpose flour – you can also sub for other types of flour, but I haven’t tested this recipe using them.

- Milk – to make for the texture and consistency.

How to Prepare a Bundt Cake Pan Before Baking
To make sure that the cake comes out of the bundt cake pan easily, you’ll need to make sure that you prepare it well before starting to bake.
As a general rule, the bundt cake pan should be greased well with no ‘dry’ spots remaining. You can also take an additional precaution and, once the pan is greased properly, sprinkle it all over with breadcrumbs or semolina. This should make the process of removing the cake from the pan smooth and easy.
