How do You Know When a Bundt Cake is Done Baking?
This is always a bit tricky – but I always use 3 methods:
Insert a toothpick or cake tester. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Gently press on the top of the cake – it should feel slightly firm/ springy to the touch and you shouldn’t be able to make an indent. Look at the sides of the cake. They should be starting to pull away from the edges.
This cake will bake for 30-40 minutes. Note that even oven bake times can vary by 10-15% When in doubt – bake the cake for a few more minutes. This cake is very moist so the chances of it drying out are slim/non-existent. If your bundt cake is gummy or starts to sink – that means it wasn’t baked for long enough.
