How to Make Cinnamon Bundt Cake Step by Step

Step 1 – Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for conventional heat or 170°C (340°F) for fan-assisted / convection.
• Generously grease the bundt pan with butter and dust with flour or breadcrumbs.
  
• Sift the flour and baking powder together and set aside.
  250 g all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder
  

Step 2 – Making the Butter Cake Batter

• Place the butter, powdered sugar, and oil in a large mixing bowl.
  200 g butter, 50 ml oil, 200 g powdered sugar
  
• Beat on high speed until the mixture becomes pale, light, and fluffy – about 3 minutes.
  
• Add the eggs one at a time, along with 1 tablespoon of the sifted flour per egg. Mix briefly on low speed, just until combined.
  4 eggs
  
• Add about half of the remaining flour and mix briefly.
  
• Pour in the milk and mix shortly.
  100 ml milk
  
• Add the rest of the flour and mix only until the batter comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 3 – Preparing the Cinnamon Swirl

• Transfer about ⅓ of the batter to a separate bowl.
  
• Add the cinnamon and brown sugar and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon cane sugar
  

Step 4 – Layering the Batter in the Pan

• Spoon about half of the plain batter into the bottom of the bundt pan.
  
• Add dollops of the cinnamon batter on top.
  
• Cover with the remaining plain batter and smooth the surface. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter for a marbled effect.
  

Step 5 – Baking the Cinnamon Bundt Cake

• Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5–10 minutes. Carefully loosen the edges, turn the cake out onto a plate, and allow it to cool completely.

Step 6 – Making the Glaze

• In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Add the maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of milk, then mix well. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk until smooth and pourable.
  100 g powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, about 2-3 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled bundt cake.
