Our Best Bundt Cake Recipes

Show up to any dinner party or potluck with a cake and you're bound to attract some attention. Walk into that same situation with a Bundt cake? Get ready for a chorus of 'oohs' and 'aahs'. There's truly nothing better than a dessert that comes together with minimal effort, especially one that looks like it was baked by a pro. That's exactly what we love about Bundt cakes. As long as you own a good-quality Bundt pan (a sturdy cast aluminum one that will give you even browning) you can follow the same steps that you would when making a basic cake (butter and flour your pan, mix the batter and bake) but the end result will be so much more than the sum of your effort. No special skills needed.

Better yet, reliable Bundt cake recipes abound in every flavor imaginable. That means it's easy to find the perfect dessert for every occasion. One of our favorites? This showstopper that's based on the classic flavors of Buckeye candy: chocolate and peanut butter. A creamy peanut butter cheesecake mixture is sandwiched inside rich chocolate cake, and a final topping of melted semisweet chocolate makes it utterly irresistible.

The wildly popular cakes from the Nothing Bundt Cake bakery chain are known for their moist, tender crumb and cascading bands of rich cream cheese frosting. This copycat version replicates the flavor and texture of the popular red velvet version, a perfect match to the signature cream cheese frosting. To make the batter we added sour cream, a little extra oil, vanilla and chocolate chips to a shortcut cake mix. You’ll get a rich, picture-perfect cake with just about 30 minutes of hands-on work.
