Instructions
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan, tapping out excess flour.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions. Mix just until no dry streaks remain.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 48 to 52 minutes, until a tester inserted in the thickest part comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a rack and cool completely.
- Whisk the confectioners sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake and let the glaze set before slicing.
