Ingredients

1 tbsp. (22 g) baking powder
1 tsp. (3 g) ground cinnamon
1 tsp. (7 g) table salt
1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter room temperature, more for greasing the pan, softened
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar packed
1 tbsp. (15 ml) vanilla extract
4 large eggs (200 g), room temperature
2 egg yolks (33 g) from two large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup (143 g) whole milk, plain Greek Yogurt
3/4 cup (19 ml) buttermilk, whole if you can find it

Churro Cake Topping:

1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp. (3 g) ground cinnamon
2 tbsps. (28 g) unsalted butter melted
dulce de leche sauce (your choice how much to drizzle over the top)

Instructions

Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 10-cup capacity Bundt pan with a small amount of butter, making sure to coat all the crevices. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
2-3/4 cups (344 g) all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp. (22 g) baking powder , 1 tsp. (7 g) table salt, 1 tsp. (3 g) ground cinnamon
In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the whole eggs one at a time, then beat in the egg yolks. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the Greek yogurt until well combined.
1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar , 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar, 1 tbsp. (15 ml) vanilla extract , 4 large eggs (200 g), room temperature, 2 egg yolks (33 g) from two large eggs, room temperature, 1/2 cup (143 g) whole milk, plain Greek Yogurt
Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix.
3/4 cup (19 ml) buttermilk, whole if you can find it
Spoon the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles.
Bake for 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife, then invert the cake onto the rack. Remove the Bundt pan and allow the cake to cool completely.

Topping:

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Working in sections, brush the top of the cake with melted butter. Hold the cake over the bowl and sprinkle the top with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar, 1 tsp. (3 g) ground cinnamon , 2 tbsps. (28 g) unsalted butter
Drizzle as much or as little dulce de leche over the top of the cake. Serve with ice cream.
