Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
- Bundt pan or loaf pan (greased and floured)
- Spatula
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 box 15.25 oz yellow or vanilla cake mix
- 1 box 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan or two loaf pans to prevent sticking.
- Combine the ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into the pan:
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s), smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If using loaf pans, check for doneness around 40 minutes.
- Cool the cake:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar for a simple finish. You can also top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a glaze for added flavor.
