🍶Storage Tips

  • Since the cake has cream cheese frosting, refrigerate the cake in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.

❄️Freezing Tips

  • Allow the cake to completely cool, then wrap in layers of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil to protect it from freezer burn.
  • Thaw in the refrigerator overnight when you're ready for a sweet treat!

➡️Top Recipe Tip

  • Make sure to grease and flour the bundt pan well to keep the cake from sticking. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
How do I know when the bundt cake is done?

1. Test with a toothpick in the center of the cake. It should come back clean or with a few crumbs.
2. Press the top of the cake gently. It should spring back and not make an indent.
