– 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
– A good couple of cracks of black pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon)

– A splash of olive oil for greasing the Bundt pan
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with olive oil, making sure to coat every nook and cranny to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until fully combined—this ensures an even texture in your cake.
3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the softened butter until it’s creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the whisked eggs to the butter one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is light and fluffy.
5. Gradually pour in the whole milk while mixing on low speed, then gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until just incorporated.
6. Tip: Fold in the dry ingredients from step 2 in three batches, mixing until no flour streaks remain—overmixing can lead to a tough cake, so be gentle!
7. Gently stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, using a spatula to smooth the top for an even bake.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
10. Tip: Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting it—this helps it release easily without breaking.
11. Carefully invert the Bundt pan onto the rack to remove the cake, then allow it to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
12. Tip: For extra flavor, drizzle the reserved sun-dried tomato oil over the cooled cake just before serving.
13. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Just out of the oven, this Bundt boasts a moist, tender crumb with pockets of cheesy goodness and bursts of tangy sun-dried tomatoes. The fresh basil adds a bright, aromatic finish that pairs perfectly with a simple salad or as a standout side at your next picnic. Get creative by slicing it thick and toasting it lightly for a crispy-edged treat that’s downright addictive!

4. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Tip: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients, to keep the batter smooth without overmixing.
6. Gently fold in the finely chopped roasted red peppers and crumbled goat cheese with a spatula until just distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with no wet batter.
9. Tip: Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting it to prevent it from breaking apart.
10. Carefully invert the pan onto the rack to release the cake and allow it to cool completely.
