  • 2/3 cup (160 ml) oil (canola or sunflower)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour

Preparation

  6. Mix until smooth.
  7. Pour dry ingredients over mixture and stir using a rubber spatula or electric mixer, just until moist.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the Bundt pan.
  9. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before transferring onto a rack.
  11. To make the glaze, combine the butter, brown sugar, whipping cream, icing sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.
