The bakery is known for its unique take on bundt cakes.

Why is my bundt cake soggy? ›
If it still appears wet, continue to bake, but keep a close eye on it. Remember that residual heat can continue cooking the cake even after it's removed from the oven, so a slight underbaking can often result in a perfectly moist Bundt cake once it cools.
Why do Bundt cakes have a hole? ›

Why are Bundt cakes so dry? ›
2) Too much flour was used
If you use a cup rather than a scale there's a good chance you're using too much flour: up to 20% too much, if you use the measuring cup as a scoop then tamp the flour down. Any baked good — especially cake —with too much flour will be dry, hard, crumbly … take your unhappy pick.
Should you refrigerate Nothing Bundt cakes? ›

Do you flip a Bundt cake hot or cold? ›
Allow the Cake to Cool

How do you keep a Bundt cake moist? ›
Use cake flour.
If a recipe calls for all-purpose flour, opt for cake flour instead to create a more moist, tender crumb. Additions like sour cream, buttermilk, or applesauce can also infuse moisture and prevent a dry cake. Baking soda or baking powder also ensures a nice lift in baked goods.
Should you take a Bundt cake out of the pan? ›
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.
What is another name for a Bundt cake? ›
The Bundt cake derives in part from a European brioche-like cake called Gugelhupf. In the north of Germany and the southern Anglia peninsula Gugelhupf is traditionally known as Bundkuchen (German pronunciation: [ˈbʊntkuːxn̩]), a name formed by joining the two words Bund and Kuchen (cake).
Prevent a Domed Bottom

How to moisten a dry bundt cake? ›
