Whipping Cream Cake

The Whipping Cream Cake is a soft, buttery bundt cake made with room temperature butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and heavy cream incorporated alternately for a moist crumb. Vanilla adds subtle flavor, while a slow bake starting in a cold oven ensures even rising. The texture is tender and rich, topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit for serving.

Course: Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter room temperature, unsalted
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 6 egg room temperature, large
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream do not whip
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray - preferably one for baking. This will help ensure a clean release of the bundt cake from the pan.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy - about 5 minutes.
  3. Add one egg at a time, beating after each egg.
  4. Add salt to the measured flour, whisking to combine and aerate the flour. Then alternately add the flour and heavy whipping cream starting and ending with the flour. Scrape down the sides and mix to combine. Add in vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. 
  5. Start the cake in a COLD oven by placing the cake into the oven, closing the door and heating the oven to 325°F. Bake for 1 hour and 15 mins or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 45 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. 
  6. Top with whipped cream and fresh berries.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help achieve a smooth batter and uniform baking.
  • Baking the cake starting in a cold oven helps the cake rise evenly without cracking.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 45 minutes before removing from the bundt pan to prevent sticking or breaking.
  • Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit for a simple, elegant finish.
