What is a bundt cake?

Bundt cakes are beautiful, decorative cakes that are perfect for a crowd. You can slather icing, powdered sugar, or even frosting on top.

Bundt cakes are the only cake I can think of that got its name from a brand. Nordic Ware trademarked the name bundt in the 1950's and started producing bundt pans. The fancy bundt cake pans caught on and are still popular today.

As you can see in the picture above, a gluten free bundt cake is very similar to a gluten free pound cake. Both are moist and velvety. They just melt in your mouth.

Ingredient notes:

• Gluten free flour blend - I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
• Xanthan gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
• Pudding mix - Many ask what brands of pudding mix are gluten free. I like to use Jello brand. Another good brand is Simply Delish.
• Raspberries - You can use any fresh fruit mixed into this recipe. You can use frozen fruit, but visit the FAQ below to see how to use frozen fruit so your cake doesn't turn out mushy.

Fun swaps:

Raspberries are in season year-round, so you should be able to find fresh raspberries for this gluten free vanilla cake recipe. If you can't, feel free to chop up strawberries or another fresh berry as a substitute. You can also skip the fruit, add chocolate chips, or anything you want in this cake.

Recipe step by step directions:

Step 1: Add all of your dry ingredients to a bowl. Make sure to include the dry vanilla pudding powder in this step!

Step 2: In a smaller bowl, add the wet ingredients and whisk to blend.

Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until it is just barely mixed.

Step 4: Add the fresh raspberries now and gently fold them into the batter. I don't have you add the raspberries until now otherwise they will break apart as you mix the cake batter.

Step 5: This is a photo from my apple bundt cake recipe. I felt it was important to show you how the cake batter looks in the bundt cake pan. Fill the bundt pan about ¾ full. This will give room for the cake to rise.

Step 6: Bake at 350º F for 40-45 minutes depending on the size and depth of your bundt cake pan.

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:

The secret tip to a moist and delicious gluten free bundt cake is to add a box of pudding mix to the batter. It will make your gluten free bundt cake recipe hard to resist. I used the slow cook vanilla pudding box mix, but I am sure the quick cook would work just as well.

Notes

1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
3. You can use regular cook or instant pudding mix in this recipe. Both work really well. I used Jello Pudding brand vanilla pudding mix and it is gluten free. Another good gluten free pudding mix is by Simply Delish.
4. I used almond milk but other dairy-free kinds of milk will work but I do not recommend canned coconut milk.
5. Many ask if you can use frozen raspberries in this recipe. You can, but you will need to thaw them and drain the liquid before mixing them into the cake batter. Otherwise, your cake can turn out mushy.
6. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the bundt cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done baking. If you see batter or crumbs, the cake needs to bake longer.
7. This cake will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
