    Frequently asked questions about bundt cakes.

    What is a bundt cake?

    A 'bundt cake' is basically a cake baked in a bundt style pan.
    Bundt cakes are more about their shape than they are about being about any specific kind of cake.

    A bundt style cake pan is a cake pan that is decorative which allows the cake to bake with dimensional details. These pans are made with a hole in the center for more even baking.

    What is the trick to getting a cake out of a bundt pan?

    Sometimes that decoration or decorative elements in the cake mold itself can make it a challenge to get the cakes cleanly removed from the pan. The key to preventing a bundt cake from sticking to the pan is prevention.

    Here are some tips for preventing your bundt cake from sticking to the pan.

    🟣 Double prep the pan, grease and lightly dust the pan with flour first.
    🟡 Allow the cake to cool for five minutes in the pan and then run a butter knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
    🔵 Place a cooling rack over the opening of the pan and then flip the pan over so that the cake comes out of the pan by gently shaking it as needed.

    Tips for making a great bundt cake.

    This recipe is made using a "classic" cake mix. If you decide to use a "butter" cake mix, look for a "super moist" variety as the moisture in the cake mix make a difference in a bundt cake.

    More tips for you.

    1. I always like to 'double-prep' my pan when it comes to making a bundt cake as the cakes are more prone to sticking to pan. This means, for example, both greasing and then lightly dusting with flour.
    2. After taking the cake out of the oven, allow it to sit in the pan for about five minutes. Then run a butter knife around the edges of the cake to help get it loosened from the pan.
    3. There are two layers of icing- the white and the green. Allow for the white icing to fully cool before adding the green icing layer to keep them separate.

    Personalize this St. Patrick's' Day cake.

    This cake is really tasty just the way it is.
    However, you can make yours even better!

    Try one of these ideas.

    • Sprinkle some edible gold on top (flakes or dust for example).
    • Decorate your cake with St. Patrick's Day cake decorations.
    • Add a teaspoon or so of mint extract to the batter.

    To make this cake, we will use a simple yellow cake mix.

    How to make this St. Patricks Day Green and Gold Bundt Cake.

    Step One: make the cake.

    1. Start by making the batter as directed on the box. Then carefully fold in the sour cream without overmixing the batter.
    2. Divide the batter in half and add enough of the food coloring to get your desired green color (two to three drops should work.
    3. Layer the batter in your prepared bundt cake pan so that there are two layers of each color batter.
    4. Bake the cake as indicated on the directions.

    Expert Tip 👉 Make sure that the cake is fully cooled before you add the icing. A warm cake can have an effect on the icing flow.

    Step Two: ice the cake.

    Make the icing by combining the icing ingredients (except for the green coloring). Divide the icing in half and add green food coloring to one of the halves.

    Step Three: finish making the cake.

    Once the cake has been removed from the pan and has fully cooled, use a tablespoon to drizzle the white icing over the cake. Then, once that white icing has cooled, you can repeat the process with the green icing. Lastly, top the cake with festive sprinkles and decorations as desired.
