Ingredients
- 1 lb cake flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 lb unsalted butter, room temperature
- 12 oz sugar
- 9 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat your grill to 325°F, set up for indirect grilling.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar until lightened in color and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl.
- Add the eggs one at a time. About halfway through, scrape down the bowl and continue adding the eggs, one at a time. When all eggs are incorporated, scrape down the bowl one more time. Add the vanilla extract, then mix another ten seconds.
- Fold in the dry mixture by hand in three stages, using a rubber spatula. Pour the mixture into a greased bundt pan.
- Bake at 325°F until golden brown and springy to the touch, about 60-70 minutes.
