Old-Fashioned Doughnut Bundt Cake

1. Prepare the Pan and Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare your Bundt pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar

Using an electric mixer, beat together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, freshly grated nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt.

5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Buttermilk

Add half of the dry ingredients to the mixer on low speed, then slowly add the buttermilk. Finish by adding the remaining dry ingredients until just combined.

6. Bake the Cake

Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan, tapping the pan to release air bubbles. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

7. Cool and Unmold the Cake

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then flip onto a cooling rack with a baking sheet underneath.

8. Apply Cinnamon Sugar

While the cake is still warm, brush with melted butter and coat with a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
