          Step-by-Step Instructions

          1. Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 350Ā°F (177Ā°C). Generously grease your mini bundt cake pan or mini loaf pan.
          2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
          3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat them until creamy and fluffy, about 2 minutes on high speed.
          4. Add Eggs and More: Gradually add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla, mixing until perfectly blended.
          5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix.
          6. Fill the Bundt Pan: Distribute the batter evenly into the pan, filling each section about 2/3 full.
          7. Bake: Allow to bake and do the toothpick test for doneness.
          8. Finishing Touches: Once cooled, generously pour Colombina's Guava Spread over the top of each cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a beautifully glazed effect. If desired, accentuate this tropical delight with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added decoration or fill the cakes with pink guava-infused Colombina's Guava Spread for a burst of pink guava fruit flavor.

          Ultimate Moisture Tip

          To ensure your cakes are moist vanilla cakes, watch the baking time closely. A few moist crumbs on a toothpick signal perfection. The addition of full-fat sour cream is not just for flavor but is the key to achieving a super moist vanilla cake recipe.
