FAQs

How do you put frosting on a bundt cake? ›

They're usually cool enough in my pan after 10 to 15 minutes. But sometimes, I will give them another hour on the cooling rack to reach that ideal temperature for frosting and stacking.

You can basically take any canned frosting, add it to a bowl and warm it up a bit in the microwave. Only warm it for about 20 seconds at a time, because it will warm up very fast. Then take it and either drizzle it or spoon it over the cake, or just pour it over.

Leavening Agents

These are the key ingredients that make a cake rise. There are two types of leavening agents, chemical (baking soda and baking powder) and biological (yeast).

Everybody likes to enjoy their Bundt Cakes a little differently. For all of our cake sizes, you can choose to enjoy them with regular, extra or no frosting.

Using your offset spatula, spread the buttercream across the top of the cake in a very thin layer. Let the excess hang over the edges of the cake. Once the top is spread even, take the overhang and spread it down the sides of the cake, rocking the spatula back and forth.

Allow the Cake to Cool

Once you've cooked your bundt cake and removed it from the oven, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then place a wire cooling rack over the base of the cake and invert the pan to release.

When you remove your cake from the oven, don't flip it out of the pan right away! Instead, let the cake cool for ten minutes in the pan. Then, placing the wire rack over the base of the cake, invert the pan.

The best way to store a homemade birthday cake overnight is to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. This will keep the cake moist and prevent it from drying out. You can also store the cake in a covered cake dish or in an airtight container.

Always begin by scraping the frosting into a mixing bowl and stirring vigorously or mixing with a mixer until smooth and creamy. This simple step of incorporating air into a can of dense store-bought frosting will make it fluffy and enhance the flavor.

What do you mix with canned frosting? ›

For a (16-ounce) tub of frosting, anywhere from ½ cup to 1 cup of crunchy additions will do the trick. Toasted nuts, coconut flakes, chocolate chips or chunks, halvah, and toffee will all add a fun new dimension of flavor. Stir in chopped up canned pineapple or fresh berries for an extra fruity kick.

Yes, when adding eggs to a cake mix, it's a common practice to beat them first. Beating the eggs before incorporating them into the cake batter helps ensure a smoother and more even distribution of the eggs throughout the mixture. This results in a better texture and consistency for your cake.

In the 1970s Pillsbury licensed the name Bundt from Nordic Ware and for a while sold a range of Bundt cake mixes. To date more than 60 million Bundt pans have been sold by Nordic Ware across North America. November 15 has been named "National Bundt Day".

Beaten whole eggs as well as egg whites on their own, are highly effective leavening agents, incorporating air into the dough or batter. As the air bubbles are trapped in the mixture, a foam is created, which will expand in the oven, causing cakes to rise, providing volume and a lighter texture.

Drizzle with a Glaze or Sauce. Save the buttercream for another day because the very best, and easiest, way to decorate a Bundt cake (beyond powdered sugar, of course) is drizzling a glaze or simple sauce over the top. You see, Bundt cakes are simply stunning the way they are.

Sure! Simply transfer your frosting to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high to 20 to 30 seconds. Stir well, then pour over your cake (or use it for donut glaze).

Cool Off. After removing from the oven, place the pan on a wire rack and let cool; your recipe will specify the required time, usually from 10-20 minutes. This allows the cake to become firm enough to remove from the pan without breaking apart.
