Basque Bundt Cake
 
Makes 1 (10-cup) Bundt cake
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups (340 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs (250 grams), room temperature
  • 3 cups (375 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon (1 gram) cream of tartar
  • 1⅔ cups (360 grams) Basque Custard (recipe follows)
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and granulated sugar at low speed just until combined; increase mixer speed to medium, and beat until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at time, beating well after each addition.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cream of tartar. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with Basque Custard, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition and stopping to scrape sides of bowl.
  4. Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan with baking spray with flour. Spoon and spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Tap pan on a kitchen towel-lined counter a few times to settle batter and release any air bubbles.
  5. Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, loosely covering with foil to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Dust with confectioners’ sugar just before serving.
Notes
PRO TIP-If your oven runs hot and browns your cakes easily, try baking your cake at 325°F (170°C) for the same bake time (1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes). It’ll yield the same results but with a lighter crust.
