Bundt cakes are some of my favorite things to bake in fall and winter. They look like you fussed more than you did, they keep well on the counter for days, and they come together without much technical skill. When I want something sweet and from scratch but don’t want the work of a layer cake, a bundt pan is usually where I land. There’s no shortage of seasonal ingredients to work with either. Apples, applesauce, pumpkin, winter squash, and warm spices all find their way into the recipes below. Pick whatever fits what you have on hand and bake away.

Baking Bundt Cakes

Bundt cakes are tend to be easy to make and require minimal baking skills. The cake batters tend to be full of simple and easy to find ingredients.

Obviously a bundt cake pan is needed and do grease it well so the cooked cake slips out of it easily.

Follow the simple recipes for the most success. Do know ahead of time that bundt cakes tend to need a long baking time so plan ahead for baking and cooling prior to serving.

Most bundt cakes keep well because of their moisture so do make the day before but keep the whole thing stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

How to Serve

A slice of bundt cake is a perfect dessert all on its own. However, there are some easy ways to jazz it up.

Many of the following recipes come with glazes or frosting which is wonderful and simple. It’s also reasonable to switch glazes around if desired. A basic vanilla white glaze works for most any cake, but feel free to use a cream cheese icing or chocolate frosting instead.

A slice of still warm cake served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is always delightful.
