Ingredients

For the Cake:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.

Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). Set aside.

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.

Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top. Pour the remaining batter over the swirl and top with the remaining cinnamon mixture. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.

Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and pourable.

Glaze the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top. Allow it to set for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Cinnamon Roll Bundt Cake and serve with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy the delicious flavors of cinnamon sugar and cream cheese!
