Ingredients
  • 4 sticks of butter, softened, plus more for the pan
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 cups cake flour, plus more for the pan
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Butter and flour a Bundt pan.

  2. Beat butter until soft. Gradually add in the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well.

  4. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, and alternate with heavy cream and beat at low until just blended.

  5. Add the vanilla and mix.

  6. Pour into the greased and floured Bundt pan. Bake on the center rack until golden brown, approximately 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

Notes

This is great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream!
