How To Make Coffee Cake In a Bundt Pan
Step 1: Prepare. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200ºC) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: Cream the ingredients. Beat the sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, add in the vanilla and mix until combined.
Step 3: Add dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. Add half the flour mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients, then half the sour cream, beating the batter briefly after each addition.
Step 4: Pour batter. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the batter in the pan. Drop the remaining batter in heaping spoonfuls over filling, covering it as best you can.
Step 5: Bake the cake. Put the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake it for 8 minutes. Lower heat to 350°F (180ºC) and bake for about 40 minutes more until the center is baked through. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then, carefully flip the bundt pan onto a serving plate and let it cool completely.
Step 6: Make the glaze. Combine the confectioners sugar with the cinnamon and whisk them in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, then slice, serve, and enjoy!
Tips To Make The Best Coffee Cake Bundt Cake
- Generously grease the bundt pan to make sure the bundt cake comes out clean after baking.
- Insert a toothpick into the center of the bundt cake. When it comes out clean, it is fully baked.
- Try using brown sugar instead of white sugar for the filling. Or go with half white sugar and half brown sugar to give the filling a rich, caramelly center.
- Wait until the bundt cake has cooled completely to add the glaze on top. Otherwise, if the cake is too hot, the glaze will run and not stick to the cake.
- If you want a thicker glaze, just add more powdered sugar until it reaches your desired consistency.
