Soft, spiced, and beautifully dusted with powdered sugar, this cake is the ultimate holiday centerpiece. Topped with fresh berries, it’s a dessert everyone will love—simple, elegant, and full of flavor!

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Fresh berries (currants, raspberries, or cranberries) for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt cake pan and dust lightly with flour.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until the batter is smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once completely cool, dust generously with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries.
