Ingredients 

Cake

• 125g unsalted butter , softened
• 180g caster sugar
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 180g plain flour , sifted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• pinch salt 
• 150g soured cream

Glaze

• 100g caster sugar
• 50g unsalted butter
• 4 tbsp water
• few drops vanilla extract

Method

• Grease and lightly flour a 1.4 litre (6 cup) fluted bundt tin. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat well using an electric mixer until the mixture is very light and fluffy. 
• Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well between each addition. Add a little flour if the mixture starts to separate. Add the vanilla extract.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt and stir half into the butter mixture together with half the soured cream. Beat well together.
• Add the remaining flour and soured cream and mix well. Spoon into the prepared tin and spread level.
• Bake in the oven for 35-40 mins. When cooked remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins.
• To make the glaze put all the ingredients into a small pan and heat until the butter has melted. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat a little and simmer for 3 mins. Remove from the heat and allow to cool and thicken.
• Turn the cake out onto a wire rack over a tray. Pour or brush half of the glaze over the cake. Leave to soak in. Then pour the remaining glaze over the cake. Leave until completely cold before serving.

Tip- Why not try this cake served with some strawberries and low fat cream, it makes for a perfect dessert.
