Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup sour cream

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

½ cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

        Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix until well blended. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

          Layer the Batter: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter, then add the remaining batter on top. Finally, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture over the last layer of batter.

            Swirl it Up: Using a butter knife or a skewer, gently swirl the batter and cinnamon mixture together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to mix too much; you want to keep some distinct layers.

              Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.

                Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

                  Drizzle the Glaze: Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delightful Cinnamon Roll Bundt Cake with a steaming cup of coffee or tea!
