Maple Bundt Cake Recipes

MAPLE BUNDT

Steps:

• For the bundt: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and continue creaming, scraping down the sides of the bowl every now and again, until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can take 5 to 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt to combine. Transfer the flour mixture to a piece of parchment.
• Add the maple syrup to the butter and sugar mixture and mix to combine. Add the eggs one at time, mixing until each egg is completely incorporated and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add half the flour mixture and mix, then the milk and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining flour and mix until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
• Place the bundt on a baking sheet and bake until the cake springs back when gently poked, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• For the maple glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until smooth. Add more heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin out the glaze to the desired consistency. Once the bundt is completely cooled, place onto a serving platter and pour the glaze over top.

Add the flour mixture to the stand mixer bowl in 3 additions, alternating with the maple syrup mixture and ending with the flour mixture. Mix only until just combined.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it out evenly. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 35-40 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the pan before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Whisk cake mix and pudding mix together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center; add eggs to the well. Then add water, vegetable oil, and mashed banana; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on low for 4 minutes. Let batter rest for 5 minutes, then pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out mostly clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
• While the cake is cooling, cook bacon in a skillet and over medium-high heat, until evenly browned and just about crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Mix confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, maple syrup, and maple extract for glaze in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. If glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk.
• Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake, then sprinkle with bacon.
