Why are bundt cakes so beautiful?! I'm sure you've noticed that I don't make many other kinds of cakes. Bundt cakes are so versatile, they travel nicely, they're always moist and so flavorful. Really some of my favorite cake recipes are Bundts. And my family's too, as they play the role of cake tester.

Important Ingredients with Substitutions
- Eggs - Room temperature eggs
- Unsalted Butter - Melted butter
- Sour Cream - The Daisy brand sour cream is a great option as the only ingredient is cream. Using Greek yogurt is another great option.
- Raspberry Jam - Using a seedless raspberry jam is ideal. If yours has seeds, press the jam through a mesh strainer to separate the seeds from the jam. Another great option would be to use an already prepared raspberry pie filling.
- White Chocolate Chips
WHITE CHOCOLATE GLAZE
- White Chocolate - The Ghirardelli white baking chips are my favorite ones to use. Easy to use and they taste great.
- Heavy Cream
- Unsalted Butter - Melted

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the flour mixture to combine. (Use a stand mixer if you have one)
Step 2: To the same large bowl add the eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and sour cream. Use a hand mixer to combine without overmixing.
Step 3: Remove ⅓ of this cake batter and place into a medium bowl. To this other half the batter add the raspberry jam. Gently mix to combine.
Step 4: To the large bowl of cake batter fold in the white chocolate chips. Pour half of this mixture to the bottom of your prepared bundt pan. Tap the pan on the countertop a few times to let the batter settle into the pan.
Step 5: Add the raspberry cake batter on top of the first layer without mixing but make sure the layer is even by spreading it with a spoon or small rubber spatula.
Step 6: Lastly add the remaining batter on top of the raspberry layer, spreading evenly once again.
Step 7: Bake in the center of the oven for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Step 8: Remove the bundt cake from the oven, allowing it to cool for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the cake over onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 9: Once cooled make the white chocolate topping by warming the heavy cream and butter in a microwave-safe bowl or large measuring cup until hot, pour this overtop of the chopped white chocolate. Whisk together to melt the chocolate and combine.
Step 10: Drizzle the white chocolate over your cooled bundt cake. Top with white chocolate shavings or freeze-dried raspberries and serve!

Hint: Allowing the cake to rest for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan will greatly reduce the chances of the cake sticking inside. Alternatively, if left cooling for too long, you’ll end up with the cake sticking to the pan.
Recipe Variations
- Replace the raspberry filling with your favorite jam or preserves. Try any of these:
- Orange marmalade
- Grape jam
- Blueberry jam
- Blackberry jam
- Strawberry jam
- Prepare a cream cheese frosting to top your cake with, or simply dust with powdered sugar.
- For a lemon raspberry bundt cake, add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the raspberry cake batter.
Storage Recommendations
Store your bundt cake covered and at room temperature for up to 3 days and refrigerated for 5 days. Storing in the fridge will draw out some of the moisture, so make sure to wrap it tightly and eat it quickly. For a moist cake, store at room temperature.
Can I freeze my bundt cake? Let your cake completely cool on a cooling rack. Whether frosted or not, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap then freeze. Freezing a frosted cake isn't ideal, but it can be done.
To thaw, place your frozen cake on the counter overnight or for 6-8 hours. Keep it wrapped in the plastic wrap until thawed.
Can I reheat my bundt cake? Once your cake has thawed, place it on a parchment lined baking sheet then in an oven preheated to 350 F. Heat for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
Level Up With Expert Tips & Tricks
Generously spray your bundt cake pan with non stick baking spray. Not to be confused with non stick cooking spray. Baking spray has flour in the mixture, this eliminates the need to butter and flour the bundt pan.
Before removing the cake from the bundt cake pan, you can use a butter knife to gently make sure the edges pull away from the sides, and that there aren't any stuck on bits on the rim of the pan.
Recipe FAQs
Yes! I do recommend using a plain vanilla white cake mix. For a large bundt pan you'll likely need 2 boxes of vanilla cake mix.
There are a few steps and tricks to make sure half of your cake doesn't stick inside of the bundt pan. Firstly, spraying your bundt pan with nonstick baking spray will greatly reduce the chances of sticking. Secondly, when you're cake is finished baking let it cool for 10-15 minutes, no sooner or later than that. The pan and cake will still be hot, so turning the cake out carefully is important. To avoid having to move it more, turn it right over onto your serving plate. Continue to cool completely before you add any toppings.
