What is a bundt cake?
A Bundt cake is a cake that is baked in a Bundt pan, also called a bundt tin, which gives it a distinctive ring shape. The shape is inspired by a traditional European cake known as Gugelhupf. The texture of this moist bundt cake recipe is more like a velvet pound cake rather than a light airy cake.
How to make the perfect Vanilla Bundt Cake Recipe from scratch
Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature. Measure the ingredients carefully and precisely. Don’t over-mix the cake. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until the yolk disappears. Always add the dry ingredients alternately with the liquid, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. To prevent air bubbles, slowly spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Open the door of the oven only when ready to check for doneness.
How do you keep a bundt cake from sticking to the pan?
Make sure you use a non-stick pan. Silicone bundt pans are really great, the cake never sticks to them and makes removal a breeze. Grease the pan throughly with either butter or baking spray. Flour the pan slightly. Flip the pan and tap excess of flour.
How long should you cool a bundt cake?
After removing the bundt cake from the oven, place the pan on a wire rack and let it cool for 10-20 minutes. This allows the cake to become firm enough to remove from the pan without breaking it apart. It is important to check on the cake while it cools, you want to invert the pan and remove it as soon as its firm enough. If you leave the cake in the pan until fully cooled, the pan will cause the cake to be damp and stick to the pan. Once you try to remove it, the cake will break.
