Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup sweet white wine (like Moscato or Riesling)

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Optional glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2–3 tbsp sweet wine or milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, ensuring every crevice is coated.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sweet wine and sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined – don’t overmix!
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Optional glaze: Mix powdered sugar with wine or milk to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake for an extra touch of sweetness and shine.

Tips & Tricks

Wine choice matters: A sweet white wine like Moscato or Riesling gives a subtle, fruity flavor. Avoid dry wines, which can make the cake taste bitter.

Don’t overbake: Bundt cakes can dry out quickly. Keep an eye on the last 10 minutes of baking.

Add zest for extra flavor: Lemon or orange zest can elevate the cake even more.

Serving Suggestions
