HERITAGE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Allow all ingredients to come to room temperature. Position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325°F. Grease and flour the bundt pan, tapping out the excess flour or use a spray that has flour.
• In a large measuring bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• With an electric mixer using the flat beater, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth for approximately 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and beat until well incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and add 1/3 of the flour, then 1/2 of the milk, another 1/3 of the flour, 1/2 of the milk and then the final 1/3 of the flour, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl after mixing each addition.
• Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading the batter so the sides are slightly higher than the center. Bake until the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes.
• Slowly lift the pan off of the cake and cool completely before serving. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

• Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat each addition just until incorporated, stopping the mixer occasionally to scape down the sides of the bowl.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, spreading the batter so the sides are higher than the center. Bake until the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes.
• Gently tap the pan on a work surface to loosen the cake. Set the rack over a sheet of waxed paper, invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan. Let the cake cool completely, at least 2 hours, before serving.
