Prep Tips:
  • To Prevent Cake From Sticking To Pan - To ensure that your cake comes out of the pan clean, you have to grease it thoroughly. There are a couple of ways of doing this. The first is the traditional way by rubbing shortening all over the inside surface of your pan, making sure you don't mss a spot. The sprinkle flour in the pan and shake it until the shortening is covered. The second way is to use a non-stick spray that is specifically for baked goods.
  • Always Cool The Cake - After the cake is cooked, follow the cooling instructions. You want to cool it for about 15 minutes but don't leave it in the pan until it is completely cooled. This will help with removing it from the pan in one piece.
  • To Remove Cake From Pan - When the cake has cooled for a few minutes in the pan, give the pan a gentle shake to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Place your cake plate on top of the bundt pan, so that the bottom of the plate faces up, and carefully flip them both over so the cake comes out of the pan directly onto the plate. Allow the cake to cool completely before you cut and serve.
  • Variations - This cake is so delicious that it doesn't even need frosting, however, you could add a simple chocolate ganache on top for a bit of extra chocolate flavor.
