Ingredients
For the Cake
1 ½ cups / 340 grams Unsalted Butter, soft
2 ½ cups/500grams White Granulated Sugar
6 large Eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
3 cups/335 grams Cake Flour
½ tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
¾ cup Heavy Cream
For the Drizzle
1 ½ Icing/ Confectioners’ Sugar, shifted
2-3 tbsp Heavy Cream
½ tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
Method
For the Cake
Butter and flour a bundt cake tray and leave it aside
Shift together the cake flour, banking powder and salt and keep it aside
In a large bowl, add the soft butter. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on a medium-high speed, first, cream the butter for about a minute and then add the sugar and cream until the mixture is well combined and turns light and pale in colour (about 5 minutes)
Turn your mixer to a medium-low speed and add the eggs in one at a time and mix until they are incorporated well.
Add the vanilla and mix on a low speed till well combined.
Now with the mixer on stir, alternate adding the flour mixture and heavy whipping cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix till just combined.
Using a spatula, scrape down the bowl and give the cake batter a final mix.
Divide the batter into three portions and add the desired colours.
Spoon the batter into the pan, one colour at a time. Tap the pan down to remove any air pockets. Using a spatula, take the last layer up the wall of the bundt pan to keep the pan from overheating, this will result in a more even bake.
Place the cake in a preheated oven at 325F on the middle rack for about 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing it. Then leave it for a few more minutes to finish cooling on a cooling rack.
For the Drizzle
To a medium-size bowl add the icing sugar, pour in the heavy cream and give it a mix. Add the softened butter and mix well. You are looking for a smooth, thick, yet pourable consistency.
Drizzle your cake as desired.
