Wondering what to bake for a cookout, a picnic, or party. A classic Bundt cake is the perfect choice for a summer celebration. Itโs a great centerpiece of your party plus itโs easy to transport, simple to serve, and feeds a crowd.
Cake
3 cups of mixed fresh berries
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk
1 tbls vanilla
1 tbls unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
4 eggs
Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF. Thoroughly grease a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan.
To make the cake: Prepare your berries by washing and drying them, then roughly chop the blueberries and halve or quarter the blackberries, depending on their size. Leave the raspberries intact (theyโll break down on their own). Set aside.
Weigh your flour into a medium bowl, or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Whisk the baking powder into the flour.
In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk and vanilla. Set both mixtures aside.
Working with a stand mixer fitted with the flat be**er or working in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, and salt, first on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy and lightened in color, about 3 minutes. For a visual of what this should look like, see our video,โฏhow to cream butter and sugar.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the bowl thoroughly.
Add half of the flour mixture to the batter, beating gently to combine. Gently beat in the milk. (Itโs OK if the batter looks curdled at this point.) Stir in the remaining flour until everything is well combined; the batter wonโt be entirely smooth but there shouldnโt be any large lumps.
Use a flexible spatula to gently stir the berries into the batter by hand until theyโre evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake the Bundt cake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick or thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean; tent with foil as necessary to prevent overbrowning.
Top with glaze and berries
Enjoy! ๐
