Question 1

HOW DO YOU KEEP A BUNDT CAKE MOIST?

Accepted Answer

Just like any cake, be sure you’re not overbaking your bundt cake. Using oil in this cake recipe helps to prevent a dry crumb, so don’t replace it with butter.

Question 2

WHAT IS THE SECRET TO GETTING A BUNDT CAKE OUT?

Accepted Answer

First, be sure you’ve thoroughly greased and floured your pan. I swear by homemade cake release as it gives me much better results than the grease and flour method. You will also want to flip your bundt pan over while the cake is still quite hot so it doesn’t cool and adhere to the pan. Be sure to follow the instructions in the recipe for when to perform your flip and pan removal.

Question 3

HOW FULL DO YOU FILL A BUNDT CAKE?

Accepted Answer

Since a bundt cake will puff up significantly in the pan, you don’t want to fill it more than about ¾ of the way full. A standard cake recipe that produces two 8- or 9-inch layers will fit nicely in a 10 cup bundt pan.

Question 4

HOW DO YOU ADJUST THE BAKING TIME FOR A BUNDT PAN?

Accepted Answer

Since you aren’t splitting cake batter into multiple layers, a bundt cake will generally take longer to bake than standard flat layers. It’s not quite double the bake time, but it is at least half the time longer. It’s best to find a recipe that’s specifically made for baking in a bundt pan, but this is a general way to adjust a recipe you love to a different size pan.
