Bundt Cake Recipes using Cake Mix
I love using bundt cake pan to make delicious recipes to serve for dessert. If you like them as well, you might want to try my daughter's favorite Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake. It's filled with plenty of peanut butter flavor!
Two other chocolate cake recipes are Ultimate Chocolate Cake or Easy Chocolate German Cake. Easy to make and delicious!
How to tell when Cake is Done?
- Remember, all ovens bake differently. So test the cake after it has baked for about 45 minutes to see if it is done.
- If you start to see the sides of the cake pull away from the pan ever so slightly, test the cake with a cake tester or toothpick.
- Insert a cake tester/skewer into the cake and if it comes out with streaks of batter, you need to continue baking. If the skewer comes out clean, the cake is done.
- You can also use a toothpick.
- A few crumbs on the toothpick or cake tester is fine.
How to Frost a Bundt Cake with Store Bought Frosting
- Because of the shape of bundt cakes, they can be difficult to frost with store bought frosting.
- I like to heat the canned frosting in the microwave for a few seconds and then pour the frosting over the top of the cake for it drizzle down the sides.
- Be careful not to overdo it! Start out with 10 seconds and then increase the time if need be.
- You do not want the frosting to turn to liquid.

Substitutions and Variations
- You could use a traditional canned frosting if you prefer instead of the white chocolate glaze.
- Another option would be to use fresh berries on top of the cake and serve with homemade whippe cream.

🥣Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare and bake the cake according to the directions on the back of the box.
Step 2: When done baking, remove cake and allow to cool in pan for up to five minutes.
Step 3: Run a knife along the edges of the cake pan to help release the cake and then carefully turn the cake out onto a cooling rack.
Step 4: Do not try to pour the glaze on top of the cake while it's warm.
Prepare the White Chocolate Glaze
Step 5: Heat the heavy whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes or just until the heavy cream begins to boil. Add the white chocolate. The mixture may bubble, this is okay.
Step 6: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes and then begin to whisk until shiny and smooth until it comes together. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides of the cake.
Decorate the Bundt Cake
Step 7: Top the cake with the chocolate candy eggs and the pastel colored sprinkles.
Quick Tip
The recipe for the white chocolate glaze makes a lot. You can use as much as you want. I chose to keep it simple and use about half of the glaze. Store the excess glaze in an airtight container. It tastes great served over ice cream or brownies.

Storage Tips
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to five days.
- If there are no perishable ingredients, you can store the cake at room temperature; however, this cake has heavy cream in the glaze so it should be stored in the refrigerator.
Freezing Tips
If you want to create a bundt cake ahead of time and serve it later, you can freeze it. For optimum storage, freeze your cake before frosting or decorating it:
- Allow your bundt cake to come to room temperature before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap to freeze.
- Then cover the cake in aluminum foil or an airtight container.
- This will keep it from getting freezer burnt.
How to remove a cake from a bundt cake pan?
- Tap the pan a few times. Then shake the pan gently to help loosen the cake.
- You can also run a small knife around the edges of the pan to help release the cake from the pan.
- Invert the pan onto the cooling rack, gently lift the cake pan up and off the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the icing.
