Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

Dough
1 envelope (1/4 ounce, 2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup warm water (105° to 110°F)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 large egg yolks
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned into cup and leveled off)
Vegetable oil for the bowl
Flour for the work surface
Filling
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
2/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
TIP:
When purchasing packages of yeast, be sure and check the "use by" date so you are working with yeast that is truly active. If you're uncertain about the temperature of the water you're using to activate it, use an instant-read thermometer to make sure you get to 105° to 110°F.

Steps:

  • To make the dough:
  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar in the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
  • Meanwhile, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks, buttermilk, and salt until well combined.
  • Beat in the yeast mixture. But in 3 1/2 cups of the flour until combined. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour if necessary.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature until doubled in volume, about I hour. (If you've got an 8-cup or larger clear measuring cup, use this as your bowl-this makes it really easy to see if the dough has doubled.)
  • To prepare the filling:
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and roll to a 12 × 18-inch rectangle. Brush weigh 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the 2/3 cup brown sugar, the cinnamon, and salt and sprinkle over the dough. Starting at one short end, roll into a cylinder. Cut crosswise into 10 equal pieces.
  • Brush a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan with melted butter and coat with the 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Place the pieces of dough, seam side down, around the pan, angling the pieces slightly so that no piece completely covers the swirl pattern of its neighbor. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until light and puffed, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and well risen. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a cake plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon salt

1 ⅓ cups white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
⅔ cup milk
½ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter

  • In a large bowl, beat shortening, 1 1/3 cups white sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating for at least 1 minute after each egg. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Remove cake from pan while it is still warm, and poke holes around the top of the cake with a fork. Pour the warm cinnamon syrup into the holes and onto the top and sides of the cake.

Tips:

  • For the perfect bundt cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Use fresh cinnamon for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cinnamon, you can use ground cinnamon, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

This cinnamon bundt cake is the perfect treat for any occasion. It's moist, flavorful, and has a delicious cinnamon glaze. With its classic flavor and easy-to-follow recipe, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this cinnamon bundt cake a try.
