Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a 10- or 12-cup Bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then mix in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
- With the mixer on low, alternate adding the dry ingredients and 1 1/4 cups buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- In a small bowl, make the cinnamon swirl by mixing 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.
- Spoon one-third of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar over it. Repeat with another third of batter and the remaining cinnamon sugar. Top with the final third of batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes, then invert it onto the rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Drizzle over the completely cooled cake.
