Instructions

  • Preheat to 180˚ C.
  • Beat the butter and sugars for about 2-3 mins. until light and fluffy with an electric whisker. Beat at low speed for a minute incorporating one egg at a time. Scrape down sides between each addition. Fold in vanilla extract and mix.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to combine. Add this flour mixture to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the Greek yogurt. Combine with a spatula after every addition and do not overmix.
  • Transfer the batter into a well greased and floured bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and tap the pan gently on your worktop to remove any air bubbles. Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake to avoid a dry bundt cake. Once baked, allow to cool for 20-30 mins. before inverting the cake and removing from the pan. Cool completely before adding the glaze.
