Description

Nothing Bundt Cake is an ultra-moist, rich bundt cake topped with signature thick cream cheese frosting. Made easy with cake mix and pudding, it’s a decadent dessert perfect for celebrations and special occasions.


Ingredients

  • 1 box cake mix (chocolate, red velvet, or flavor of choice)
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix (complementary flavor)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk or water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 22 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, milk (or water), and vanilla. Beat for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
  3. Fold in optional mix-ins like mini chocolate chips or nuts.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. To make the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until fluffy.
  8. Once cake is fully cooled, pipe or drizzle thick lines of frosting over the top for the classic Nothing Bundt Cake look.

Notes

Use different cake and pudding flavors like lemon or red velvet for variety.Grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.Let the cake cool completely before frosting to avoid melting.Store leftover frosting in the fridge for up to a week.Add food coloring to frosting for themed occasions.
