Absolutely! 😄 A Bundt cake is basically a showstopper because of its shape, but you can make it just like a regular cake—moist, flavorful, and elegant. Here’s a classic version:
🍰 Classic Bundt Cake
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream (or yogurt for a lighter version)
Optional glaze or topping:

- Or melted chocolate
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan (or use non-stick spray with flour).
2️⃣ Mix dry ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3️⃣ Cream butter and sugar
- Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Stir in vanilla.
4️⃣ Combine
- Add dry ingredients in batches, alternating with sour cream, starting and ending with flour.
- Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.
5️⃣ Bake
- Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in pan 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack.
6️⃣ Glaze or decorate

🔥 Tips & Variations
- Moist chocolate Bundt: Replace ½ cup flour with cocoa powder and add ½ cup melted chocolate to batter
- Citrus Bundt: Add zest of 1–2 lemons or oranges to batter and glaze
- Nutty: Fold in ½ cup chopped nuts for texture
- Make-ahead: Can be wrapped tightly and stored at room temp 2–3 days, or frozen for longer
