The Bundt Cake Recipes Roundup
1. Sock It To Me Cake
I love this Southern classicโs name, and it always makes me smile. Thank you, Aretha Franklin. It is pure heaven with pecans and sour cream to take it over the top. Itโs super easy, but it looks like a million bucks! This nutty and sweet decadence drizzled with a homemade confectionersโ sugar glaze is ready in an hour or so, and itโs worth it.

Letโs booze things up a little with a traditional rum cake. Moist and sweet, and with a fine layer of chopped pecans, this Bundt cake recipe really delivers. Itโs ideal for the holiday season, especially with its warm aroma of dark rum. This super easy yellow cake with eggs, sugar, flour, milk, and butter isnโt complicated at all. The rum glaze with butter, sugar, and a dash of tasty dark rum also makes this Caribbean specialty unique. Oh yeah!
3. Sour Cream Pound Cake
Itโs amazing how just a cup of sour cream can elevate cakes to such blissful heights. Moist and slightly tangy, this sour cream pound cake never disappoints. Itโs so easy to make, too!

This cake rises quite a lot, by the way โ thatโs why I make it in a bundt pan.
