Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Thoroughly grease a 9-10 inch bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Notes

For added sweetness, consider increasing the sugar amount by an additional 1/4 cup. Ensure your butter is softened for best blending results, and do not overmix the batter once wet and dry ingredients are combined to maintain a tender crumb.
