25 Best Bundt Cake Recipes for an Impressive Dessert
They're nothing Bundt tasty! 😉
By 
Out of all the different types of cakes out there, Bundt cakes are perhaps the most versatile. They're impressive enough for the holidays but easy enough for a novice baker. Plus, there are Bundt cake recipes for every season! You can make a pumpkin Bundt cake in the fall, a lemon cake for Easter, or Ree Drummond's Christmas rum cake for a special winter dessert. Of course, any chocolate or funfetti Bundt cake would fit right in to a birthday celebration. So no matter which homemade cake recipe you choose, you know they’ll be nothing Bundt tasty! (Sorry, but we had to do it.)
What is a Bundt cake, you might ask? A Bundt cake is basically any cake that's baked in a Bundt pan. The ring-shaped pans have a hole in the middle (kind of like a giant donut), which allows for increased heat circulation in the oven and a perfectly baked cake every time. They also can be fluted for an instantly intricate design. That means, you won't have to do much to make them pretty! Just be sure to follow our tips for how to get your cake out of the pan and it couldn't be easier. There's no need for any extra flourishes, but some of the recipes ahead will also add a dusting of powdered sugar, a glaze, or even a frosting for that extra decorative step. But don't worry, anyone can make them—even first-time bakers!
