Question 1

Why are bundt cakes so moist?

Accepted Answer

Bundt cakes typically contain a lot of moisture adding ingredients like oil, sour cream, milk, or buttermilk. Not only do they add moisture, but they add fat which also helps keep the cake from drying out. In addition, add a frosting or glaze topping that will seep into the cake will give it moist crumbs as well.

Question 2

What does sour cream in a cake do?

Accepted Answer

Sour cream contains a lot of fat. Adding additional fat to a cake recipe will create an even more moist cake. It adds richness and additional moisture without thinning the cake batter out as oil would. Using yogurt in place of sour cream will create the same effect.

Question 3

Bundt cake vs Pound cake

Accepted Answer

Bundt cakes and pound cakes are both made with similar ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. However, bundt cakes are baked in a round, fluted pan with a hole in the center and often have added ingredients like buttermilk, sour cream, or yogurt for a moist texture and added flavor. In contrast, pound cakes can be baked in a bundt pan or loaf pan and are simpler with basic ingredients like butter, sugar, flour, and eggs. Bundt cakes are often decorated with frosting or glaze while pound cakes are often served plain or with toppings like powdered sugar, fruit, or whipped cream. Expert Tips For a Perfect Oreo Bundt Cake  Top Tip: If you're making this bundt cake for yourself DOUBLE the chocolate Oreo glaze. For the best result, use room-temperature ingredients.

This recipe can be made using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a good old-fashioned whisk and elbow grease. Generously spray your Bundt pan with non stick baking spray. Allowing the cake to rest for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan will greatly reduce the chances of the Oreo cake sticking inside. Alternatively, if left cooling for too long, you'll end up with Oreo cake sticking to the pan. Glaze your cake while on a wire rack, so you can catch any drippings. Use a large spatula to move the Oreo cake to a cake stand.
