How to Make Nothing Bundt Cakes
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your Bundt pan thoroughly.
Step 2:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3:
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy.
Step 4:
Add eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5:
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream with the milk to the butter mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 6:
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or sprinkles if making the confetti version.
Step 7:
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
Step 8:
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 10:
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until creamy.
Step 11:
Once the cake is fully cooled, frost it generously with the cream cheese frosting. Use a piping bag for a more polished look if desired.
Some Tips!
- Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened for smooth mixing and a silky frosting texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep your Bundt Cake Recipes Muffly and tender.
- Use a non-stick spray with flour for the Bundt pan to avoid sticking issues.
- Adding sour cream keeps the texture moist and rich without being heavy.
- For a filled Bundt Cake, consider adding a layer of your favorite jam or cream cheese filling before frosting.
