Want a quick, easy and deliciously moist Banana Bundt Cake? This recipe should fit the bill. The preparation time is less than 30 minutes and you can be doing other things while it bakes to perfection.

Ingredients for Easy Banana Bundt Cake

1 box banana bread mix
1 4-serving box of instant banana pudding mix
4 eggs
1 cup banana flavored yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions for Easy Banana Bundt Cake

Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
Grease and lightly dust the Bundt pan with flour.
In a large bowl, combine ingredients in the following order: bread mix, pudding mix, eggs, yogurt, oil, water, and vanilla.
Using an electric mixer, beat ingredients together for two minutes at medium speed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 70 minutes or until it springs back after being touched lightly in the center.

This cake tastes great served warm, especially will a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

If you can’t find banana yogurt, you can substitute plain yogurt or sour cream. But so you don’t lose the banana flavor boost from the banana yogurt, substitute banana flavoring for the vanilla extract.
For a sweeter, more dessert-like cake, substitute banana cake mix for the banana bread mix.
If you want to make this even more banana-y, you can add one mashed ripe banana. However, you’ll need to bake it a little longer due to the increased moisture.

Chocolate Bundt Cake

Post author By Carma Spence
Post date March 23, 2020

There are many ways to achieve a moist, intensely chocolate Bundt cake. This recipe uses a cake mix as the basis, so it can be prepared quickly and easily.

Ingredients

1 box Devil’s Food cake mix (preferably the kind with the pudding in the mix)
1 4-serving box of instant chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs
1 cup chocolate flavored yogurt (plain is fine as a substitute)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
Grease and lightly dust the Bundt pan with flour.
In a large bowl, combine ingredients in the following order: cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, yogurt, oil, water and vanilla.
Using an electric mixer, beat ingredients together for two minutes at medium speed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 70 minutes or until it springs back after being touched lightly in the center.

For an even more chocolate-y experience, drizzle with a chocolate glaze. There are plenty of recipes for this kind of glaze online. This one works fairly well.

Bitter Sweet Chocolate Glaze

Ingredients

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

The Bundt cake should already be cooled and sitting on the serving platter before glazing.

In a double boiler over hot, but not boiling water, combine chocolate chips, butter, cream, and light corn syrup. Stir until the chips are melted and the mixture is satiny smooth.
Add vanilla.
Remove from heat and immediately drizzle the glaze over the top of the Bundt cake, allowing the glaze to drip down the sides.

How to Salvage an Over-Baked Bundt Cake

Post author By Carma Spence
Post date February 27, 2020

O.K. It happens to us all. We’re experimenting with a new recipe… We get sidetracked by something else… We’re using an oven we haven’t used before… and our Bundt cake gets over baked. It’s not burned, but it is now kind of dry and the crust is a bit too brown.

What do you do? Throw it out?

No! You can salvage that partially O.K. Bundt cake by transforming it into another dessert. Here are a couple of ideas.

Make a Trifle

You can cut off the over-brown crust and cube the salvageable inside. Then layer it with fruit and pudding in a trifle dish. Make sure that you don’t start or end with the cake cubes… that way you can make sure that the fruit and pudding are moistening it up from both sides.

Make a Mock Bread Pudding

Cut off the over-brown crusts and cube the salvageable inside. Toss the cubes into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and pour some milk or soy milk over it… to just about 1/2 the height of your layer of cubes. That’ll be about 1 to 1-1/2 cups. Let that soak in the refrigerator for about an hour or so, until all the liquid is soaked up. You may have to stir the mixture up about half-way through.

Now take some instant pudding mix and follow the directions on the box. Just before it starts to thicken, pour it over the cake cubes. Mix until all the cubes are coated and/or soaked. Press down to even up the top. Put back into the refrigerator and let the pudding set.

Top with whipped topping and serve!

Of course, there are other ways you can salvage an over-dry Bundt cake… make fancy french toast, make a real bread pudding… let your imagination soar!

Grease and lightly dust the Bundt pan with flour.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Stir together.
Then add wet ingredients in the following order: eggs, yogurt, pumpkin, oil, and vanilla.
Using an electric mixer, beat ingredients together on low for about 30 seconds or until just combined. Then turn the mixer up to medium speed for another two minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70 minutes or until it springs back after being touched lightly in the center.

This cake tastes great served warm, especially will a scoop of French vanilla ice cream!

SIDE NOTES:

If you can’t find lemon yogurt, you can substitute lime, orange or plain yogurt or even sour cream.
For a sweeter, more dessert-like cake, substitute yellow cake mix for the pumpkin pound cake mix.

Bundt Cake Baking Tips

Bundt cake recipes are cake recipes that use a “bundt” cake pan or a round baking pan that with a hole in the middle and ridged, decorated sides. Bundt cake recipes use a dense cake such as a butter or pound cake recipe. These cakes are sturdy and last well. Recipes often call for a simple glaze or fruit topping. The name Bundt comes from the German word bund, which means “a gathering of people.”

Bundt cake recipes have grown in popularity since 1966 when a “Tunnel of Fudge” cake recipe used a bundt pan to win second place at a Pillsbury sponsored baking contest. Bundt cake recipes have since been quite popular and bundt cake pan sales have increased.

Because bundt cakes are baked in these intricate pans, there can be mishaps when turning the pan upside down and separating the cake from the pan, ruining a wonderful cake. These mishaps can be avoided by following a few simple steps.
