How to Make Snickerdoodle Bundt Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup butter (melted)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ⅓ cup sugar (granulated or sanding)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a Bundt pan by greasing it well.
  2. Make the Vanilla Cake: In a large bowl, mix the vanilla cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat well until smooth.
  3. Add the Cinnamon Swirl: In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Pour half of the cake batter into the Bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and add the rest of the cinnamon mixture.
  4. Cake Assembly and Baking: Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the batter and the cinnamon mixture together. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  5. Cream Cheese Glaze: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Bundt cake.
  6. Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: Mix the granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture over the glazed cake for an extra touch of sweetness.
