Equipment

1 12-cup Bundt pan (Heavy-duty works best for even baking)
1 Stand mixer or hand mixer (For creaming butter and sugar)
1 Large mixing bowl
1 Small bowl (For cinnamon swirl mixture)
1 Butter knife (For swirling cinnamon mixture)

Ingredients

The Cake Base:

2 ½ cups All-purpose flour
1 cup Unsalted butter - Softened to room temp
2 cups Granulated sugar
4 large Eggs - Room temperature
1 cup Sour cream - Room temperature
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 ½ teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Salt

The Cinnamon Swirl Magic:

1 cup Brown sugar - Packed
2 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
3 tablespoon Melted butter
1 pinch Nutmeg - Optional

Simple Glaze:

1 cup Powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoon Milk or cream - Adjust for drizzling consistency
½ teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

Grease bundt pan generously. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Make cinnamon swirl filling by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and nutmeg.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Pour half the batter into prepared pan, sprinkle cinnamon mixture evenly, then top with remaining batter.
Gently swirl batter with a knife in figure-8 motions. Bake 50–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in pan 10 minutes, invert onto wire rack, cool completely, then drizzle with glaze before serving.
