Bundt cakes are a gorgeous and delicious addition to any dessert table. Their decorative shape and flavors make them perfect for celebrating birthdays, potlucks and holidays.
Even Baking, Perfect Texture 주문제작케이크
The hole in the center of the cake allows heat to reach all parts of the cake, resulting in evenly baked texture from edge to middle.
1. It’s easy to make
Bundt cakes are impressive enough for a holiday spread or a dinner party, but they’re also simple to make. These dense cakes are typically easier to bake than other types of desserts, and you can find a variety of recipes for any season. Try an apple cider cake in autumn, a lemon poppy seed Bundt for spring or Ree Drummond’s rum Bundt for a Christmas treat.
The nooks and crannies of a Bundt cake are perfect for decorating with all kinds of glazes and drizzles. But a well-prepared cake can also stand on its own with just a dusting of powdered sugar. To ensure a smooth, even cake, use nonstick metal pans with a nonstick coating. If your bundt cake is stuck to the pan, draping a hot towel over the pan will help release it. Once it’s cool, flip the cake onto a plate and serve.
2. It’s easy to transport
The unique shape of Bundt cakes makes them a great option for transporting if you’re planning on taking your cake to a potluck or other gathering. They also take up much less space than layers of a regular cake, and they’re more sturdy since they’re not as tall.
The hollow center of a Bundt pan allows more of the batter to come into contact with the oven’s heat, making the cake moister and more dense. This helps cakes like coffee, fruit, or pound cakes rise and bake evenly without over browning on the outside.
If you’re making a cake with add-ins such as nuts or berries, stir them into the thick batter to avoid them sinking to the bottom of the pan (overmixing can make your cake tough). When transporting, be careful to secure it in an airtight container like high-quality Tupperware and wrap it tightly before placing it inside a cooler. If traveling on a plane, train, or bus, use an insulated bag specially designed for food to ensure the cake stays cool and dry.
3. It’s easy to freeze
Bundt cakes are ideal for freezing, making them a great dessert option if you have a large crowd to entertain. To do this, simply wrap your cooled Bundt cake in plastic and place it in the freezer. Then when you’re ready to serve it, thaw it at room temperature wrapped in plastic wrap for 6-8 hours or overnight.
The batter for this moist and tender cake uses a mix of all-purpose flour and the seeds from a vanilla bean (here’s how to scrape them out). Full-fat sour cream adds richness and moisture, but if you don’t have any, you can substitute plain or Greek yogurt.
To prepare this showstopper, use a hand mixer to combine the batter ingredients before spreading it into a greased Bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only moist crumbs and the top springs back when lightly touched. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a rack to cool completely.
4. It’s easy to remove from the pan
If you want to make a Bundt cake that looks as great as it tastes, be sure to grease the pan well and dust it with flour. Thorough greasing helps the cake release from the pan without tearing or sticking. It’s also important to follow the recommended baking time for your recipe so the cake is completely baked. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean to indicate that the cake is finished baking.
Even with a thorough greasing, occasionally a Bundt cake will still stick to the pan. If that happens, Williams recommends running a butter knife around the edges of the cake and tapping on the pan. This should loosen the cake from the pan, making it easier to invert. Once flipped over, the cake should fall out of the pan onto a plate. If the cake is a bit warm, it may need to cool down a little before you try to invert it.
