33 Bundt Cake Recipes You Have To Try!

The Bundt cake is a circular cake baked in a Bundt pan. Originally made in Germany to give cakes a more even bake, this unique pan gives the Bundt cake its world-famous, distinctive donut shape.

Inspired by a European cake called Gugelhupf, the Bundt cake varies massively, making it the perfect dessert cake for the whole family. Some are lemon in flavor, some are flavored with peanut butter.

Other Bundt cakes have a creamy coffee flavor whilst others are similar to more traditional sponge cakes.

With so many different variations and recipes available, we have the perfect excuse to make delicious Bundt cakes for the family on the regular.

In this article, we want to give you plenty of ideas. To do this, we’ve listed 33 of our favorite Bundt cake recipes.

1. Traditional Bundt Cake

Let’s start our list with this perfect traditional Bundt cake recipe (see also ‘28 Yellow Cake Mix Recipes You Will Love‘). Although we have a world of different combinations and flavors at our disposal, sometimes simplicity is better.

Satisfying all your cravings, this cake has a thick chocolate pudding batter and a layer of peanut butter goodness.

6. Banana And Caramel Bundt Cake

The next Bundt cake recipe on our list produces a tasty cake that looks spectacular and tastes even better. We also like to say it’s good for us because it contains bananas (see also ‘A Bunch of Banana-Flavored Desserts‘). We can get away with that, right?

Ideal for when you have overripe bananas, this cake is extremely sweet, making it perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. For us, the caramel glazing completes this cake and makes it the perfect centerpiece.

7. Lemon Drizzle Bundt Cake

This lemon drizzle Bundt cake may just be the prettiest cake on this list. Of course, it’s also one of the best tasting. 

Perfect for special occasions that require a little more elegance, this cake is light, fluffy, and beautifully tart.

The sweetness of the sugar and bitterness of the lemon combines perfectly to create a fresh-tasting cake that everyone can enjoy. Compared to other recipes, it’s not too unhealthy either.

8. Sticky Gingerbread Bundt Cake

If Christmas is fast approaching and you’re looking for some Bundt cake inspiration, you have to try this sticky gingerbread Bundt cake recipe.

10. Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Another Bundt cake that might not be for everyone is this pumpkin Bundt cake (see also ‘60 Best Pumpkin Desserts To Try This Fall‘). If you love the taste of pumpkin, you’ll love this intriguing cake.

A fall classic, this Bundt cake is essentially a pumpkin spice pie topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting. 

The natural nutty flavors of the pumpkin and its rich orange color help produce a cake that fills us with warmth with each bite. 

11. Red Wine Chocolate Bundt Cake

If you’re feeling a little naughty, why not add a healthy serving of red wine to your Bundt cake recipe. Red wine and chocolate pair together perfectly, so it would actually be rude not to.

Both ingredients are rich and complex. Together, they produce a seriously flavorful cake that is sweet, rich in color, and moist.

Super velvety and quite decadent, the chocolate is arguably the star of the show. However, it just wouldn’t be the same without a splash of red wine.

12. Lemon, Thyme, And Yogurt Bundt Cake

The next recipe may seem like quite an odd combination of flavors but from experience, we can tell you it works. The combination of the lemon’s sweet, tarty flavor and the earthy-minty thyme somehow works really well. 

The freshly cut thyme is thrown straight into the batter to let the flavors shine through. The lemon glaze atop the cake adds an extra crispness and sweetness without overpowering the cake.

13. Blueberry Bundt Cake

Super vibrant and amazingly flavored, this stunning blueberry Bundt cake is great for any occasion. Thanks to the sheer volume of blueberries, the cake is lovely and moist. The berries also ensure every bite is full of flavor. 

The recipe is so moist that it doesn’t even need a glaze. However, the recipe shows you how to make a refreshing lemon glaze anyway. This recipe is essentially a large blueberry muffin but better.

14. White Chocolate And Raspberry Bundt Cake

Just like the blueberry Bundt cake recipe above, this cake is vibrant and packed full of flavor. The creaminess and sweetness of the white chocolate are the perfect pairing for the vibrant, tart-flavored raspberries. 

You’ll appreciate how both flavors balance each other out in flavor and appearance. The recipe uses the perfect amount of creamy flavor to make the cake moist but also keep it nice and light.

15. Crack Bundt Cake

You’re probably wondering where this cake got its name from. Don’t worry, we were too when we first heard about it. You quickly come to realize why this cake is called crack cake when you see the ingredients list.

This cake has white wine in it. If that wasn’t enough, there’s even white wine in the gorgeous butter glaze. This makes the cake pretty boozy.

Brown sugar adds a deeper flavor, while vanilla gives the cake a creamier, more moist finish. Cinnamon adds that bit of warmth too.

16. Sweet Potato Bundt Cake

If you find yourself craving that rich spiced flavor of a pumpkin Bundt cake but don’t have any pumpkin, why not make yourself this gorgeous sweet potato Bundt cake instead.

Perfect for a cold spring morning, this sweet and savory Bundt cake is a real treat.
