How to Remove a Cake from a Bundt Pan
One of the most important steps when making a bundt cake is getting it out of the pan. To remove your strawberry bundt cake easily and without breaking it, start by spraying the inside of the pan with baking spray or greasing it liberally with butter and coat the entire pan with flour before adding the cake batter.
Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting it onto a large plate or wire rack. To help the cake release, tap the edges of the pan gently with a spoon.
Strawberry Bundt Cake Ingredients
*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Softened Butter: For this cake, use either salted or unsalted butter. I like to use salted butter because the addition of salt enhances the sweetness and flavor of the strawberry cake.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar is used to sweeten the cake.
- Eggs: Eggs help to bind all of the ingredients together and add moisture to the cake. Use large eggs
- White Chocolate Instant Pudding: White chocolate instant pudding mix provides a creamy, rich flavor that pairs perfectly with fresh strawberries and results in an extremely moist cake. You will need 1/2 of a small box or about 4 tablespoons of the dry pudding mix. This mix can be found in the baking aisle of your local grocery store.
- Flour: All-purpose flour is used in this recipe. For the best results, sift the flour before measuring to ensure even distribution in the batter.
- Baking Soda and Salt: Baking soda helps the cake rise and salt enhances its flavor.
- Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream: Greek yogurt or sour cream adds moisture and tanginess to the cake. I prefer using Greek yogurt but sour cream will work as well.
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are used in this recipe. They add a sweet and tangy flavor to the cake that pairs perfectly with the white chocolate frosting.
Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake Step By Step Instructions
[Step 1] In a medium bowl, whisk 2 1/4 cups of flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
[Step 2] Beat the softened butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
[Step 3] Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing in between.
[Step 4] Alternate adding the flour mixture and the Greek yogurt to the butter mixture, mixing and scraping the sides of the bowl in between each addition.
[Step 5] Place the chopped strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour and stir to coat the strawberries with the flour. This will keep the strawberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan. Gently stir the strawberries into the cake batter.
[Step 6] Grease and flour a bundt pan and pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Gently fold the strawberries into the cake batter.
[Step 7] Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
[Step 8] Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to completely cool before frosting.
White Chocolate Buttercream Ingredients
*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Butter: Softened butter is the foundation for this white chocolate buttercream frosting. Feel free to use salted or unsalted butter.
- Cream Cheese: Cream cheese adds extra creaminess and tanginess to the frosting.
- White Chocolate Instant Pudding: You will use the remainder of the white chocolate instant pudding that was used in the cake.
- Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar, also called confectioners’ sugar, sweetens the frosting and makes it smooth.
- Heavy Cream: Heavy cream helps thin out the frosting so it’s easier to spread. Half and half or milk may be substituted.
How to Make White Chocolate Frosting
[Step 1] Beat the softened butter and softened cream cheese in a stand mixer or with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
