FAQs

Why is my Bundt cake not flat on the bottom? ›

Sometimes Bundt pans can cause your cake to have a domed bottom, which means the cake won't lay flat.

"This method needs a little more baking time, but not substantial, and creates an even cake," she explains.

Do you flip a Bundt cake right away? ›

When you remove your cake from the oven, don't flip it out of the pan right away! Instead, let the cake cool for ten minutes in the pan. Then, placing the wire rack over the base of the cake, invert the pan. Peek under the wire rack and see if the cake has dropped out.

Why did my bundt cake come out dense? ›

There's a big chance your butter and sugar will over-cream, meaning the butter will trap more air than it should. As the batter bakes, that extra air will deflate and leave you with an overly dense cake. It's all science! For best results, cream butter and sugar together for about 1-2 minutes.

How do you flatten the bottom of a bundt cake? ›

Bundt cakes rise in the oven just like any other cake. They bake upside down, so the top becomes the bottom when you turn it out of the pan.
