Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150ml) neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
  • 2/3 cup (150ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups (195g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup dulce de leche
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons milk or cream (as needed)

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously grease a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan with baking spray or butter and flour, ensuring you reach all crevices for easy cake release.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, neutral oil, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Blend for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the wet mixture to a large bowl. Place a fine mesh sieve over it and sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gently whisk until just combined without overmixing to retain a tender crumb.
  4. Fill the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles.
  5. Bake the Cake: Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the cake turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness around 28 minutes as ovens may vary.
  6. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a platter or cake stand and let it cool completely before glazing.
  7. Prepare the Glaze: Warm the dulce de leche slightly in the microwave or on the stove over low heat to make it pourable. Stir in 1 to 3 tablespoons of milk or cream until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
  8. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon evenly to prepare the topping.
  9. Decorate the Cake: Pour the dulce de leche glaze over the completely cooled cake, allowing it to drip naturally along the sides. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar generously over the top.
  10. Serve: Slice and serve your delicious churro-inspired cake to enjoy the perfect balance of cinnamon and caramel flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help create a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid a dense cake texture.
  • Check the cake early to prevent overbaking, as oven temperatures may vary.
  • Adjust the amount of milk or cream in the glaze to get the desired consistency.
  • The cinnamon sugar topping can be adjusted for sweetness or spiciness according to preference.
  • Use a bundt pan with a non-stick surface or properly grease to ensure easy removal.
