🥘Ingredients

For the Cake

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
1/2 cup sour cream

For the Coffee Glaze

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp strong brewed coffee, cooled
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Coffee Syrup

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup granulated sugar

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
Set aside.
3In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Set aside.
4In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6Stir in the vanilla extract.
7Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the cooled coffee and sour cream.
8Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
9Be careful not to overmix.
10Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spoon.
11Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
12The cake should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
13While the cake is baking, prepare the coffee syrup by heating the strong brewed coffee and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
14Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
15Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
16Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
17Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack and brush the top and sides with the coffee syrup.
18Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
19To make the coffee glaze, in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cooled strong brewed coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.
20Add more coffee or powdered sugar as needed to reach your desired consistency.
21Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the coffee glaze over the top.
22Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
23Enjoy your coffee-infused bundt cake.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Coffee Bundt Cake

Q: What kind of coffee should I use in this recipe?

For this recipe, I recommend using a high-quality Arabica coffee that’s been freshly ground. You can also use decaf if you prefer – just keep in mind that it might affect the flavor slightly.

Q: Can I use instant coffee instead of freshly brewed?

No! Freshly brewed coffee is essential to getting that deep, rich flavor we all know and love. Instant just won’t cut it.

Q: How do I store leftover cake?

Leftover cake should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to five days. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before serving.

Q: Can I make this recipe in advance?

Yes! The batter can be mixed together and refrigerated overnight or even frozen for up to two months. Just thaw it out and bake as directed.

Q: What’s the deal with all the sugar? Can I reduce it?

I get that sugar can be a bit overwhelming at first glance, but trust me when I say it’s necessary to balance out the bitterness of the coffee. If you’re concerned about sugar intake, you can try reducing it by about 25% – but keep an eye on your cake’s consistency as you go!
