How To Make Cinnamon Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a bundt cake pan generously with cooking spray.
Place cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, milk, oil and sour cream into a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Transfer half of the cake batter into the bundt cake pan. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon into a medium bowl, stirring to combine. Pour evenly over cake batter in bundt cake pan. Spoon remaining cake batter over cinnamon sugar layer, spreading carefully. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until cake is baked through. Check center with a toothpick to assure it comes clean. Remove cake and take a plastic knife around edges to loosen while it cools. When cool, carefully flip cake onto cake plate. If any cake gets left in pan, carefully remove it and patch it back onto cake. Frosting will cover it 🙂
To prepare frosting place cream cheese and butter into a mixing bowl, stir until well combined then slowly add powdered sugar until nice thick consistency. Continue adding powdered sugar until needed. Either spread over cooled cake, or place frosting in a piping bag with a large round tip and pipe frosting lines that go from inside to outside of cake as shown in my photos.

Place 1/2 cake batter into bottom of bundt cake pan.

Combine brown sugar and cinnamon into a bowl, stir to combine.

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over bottom half of cake batter. Top evenly with remaining cake batter, spreading carefully. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until center of cake is baked through. Remove and let cool. I always run a plastic knife around edges of cake to loosen as it cools. When cooled, carefully flip cake onto cake stand of choice.

What If Some Of Cake Stays in Pan When Removing Bundt?

Depending on your bundt cake pan, how much cooking spray you apply to your pan and even bake time, sometimes you don’t get the perfect flip when removing your bundt cake. If some cake pieces broke and ended up still on your bundt pan, don’t worry! I simply take a plastic knife to remove the pieces and patch it back onto the cake. The frosting covers any imperfections. I do this often 🙂

Nothing Bundt Cake Style!

To frost your bundt cake like Nothing Bundt Cake does, simply place your cream cheese frosting from the recipe inside a piping bag with a large round tip attached. Pipe the frosting from the inside of the bundt cake to the outside of the bundt cake leaving about an inch at the bottom. Easy and fun!

How To Serve Bundt Cake

Slice bundt cake into 2 inch slices or desired amount. Serve room temperature or warmed in the microwave for 15 seconds. Can be served with ice cream too.

Can Bundt Cake Be Frozen?

Yes, freeze bundt cake without the frosting in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw to room temperature when ready to serve. Frost when cake has been thawed.
