Making the Best Bundt Cake
My secret to creating the most incredible bundt cake? Two ingredients: butter and chocolate! These two combined together create an unforgettable cake that simple melts in your mouth. For this recipe, I used melted white chocolate to add extra moisture to the cake. If you’re concerned about the sweetness, you can reduce the amount of sugar from 1 cup to 3/4 cup or even 1/2 cup. The white chocolate doesn’t add flavor but it does add an incredible amount of moisture!
Tips for Making Bundt Cake
I love bundt cakes because they’re so easy to make and delicious! When making this simple cake, follow these tips for a perfect cake each time!
- Always, ALWAYS flour the cake tin! I like to use a starched baking spray that has either flour or cornstarch. If you don’t have a spray, first butter the pan with softened butter, then add a few tablespoons of flour and turn the pan until it’s well coated. Tap out any excess flour.
- Toss the berries in cornstarch or flour. This will help keep the berries suspended in the cake batter and will also keep the berry juices from running.
- Once the cake is done baking, allow it to stand right side up for about 15 to 20 minutes, then invert onto a cake stand and cool completely.

Easy Berry Bundt Cake Recipe (video)
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups fresh berries
- 2 tablespoons flour
For Lemon Glaze:
- 3 tablespoons cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or zest from 1 lemon
- 2 to 3 cups confectioner’s sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 9 or 10-inch bundt cake pan; set aside.
- Prepare the cake batter. Using a mixer, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix until well combined. Pour in the milk and mix again.
- Combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the batter using a fine mesh sifter. Whisk the flour into the batter by hand.
- Melt the white chocolate until smooth, using a double boiler or in the microwave. Add the melted white chocolate and whisk until well combined. Toss the fresh berries in the 2 tablespoons flour to coat. Fold into the batter.
- Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Take out of oven and immediately invert onto cake platter. Cake should drop right out of pan. Remove the pan to avoid sweating the cake. Allow the cake to cool.
- Optional glaze: whisk together the cream, lemon juice or lemon zest and confectioner’s sugar until smooth. Pour over the cake. Garnish with more fresh berries.
My cake came out gluggy and dense , after an hour in the oven the centre was still completely liquid!
Not sure what I did wrong but was so disappointed
Hmm, that definitely doesn’t sound right! 🙁 I’m sorry that it didn’t turn out for you! Sounds like maybe the flour was overmixed; when that happens, the gluten becomes overdeveloped and the batter will become stringy and thick. Tae extra care not to over mix!
That looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it. I have 2 questions though :
* can I use cake flour instead?
* do you taste the chocolate in the final product?
Thanks
You’ll love this cake! You can use cake flour but it’s not necessary. You don’t really taste the white chocolate but I like that it makes the cake very rich tasting!
Hi, Im new to your channel. Can I use frozen berries? We seldom have fresh berries in the Philippines.
Hi! You can use frozen but frozen berries tend to burst while baking so the cake wont look as pretty, but it will taste good! Thaw the berries before adding them into the batter 🙂
You mention “cream” for the glaze, what type of cream is that?
I used heavy cream for the glaze
Hi! If i want to make this for a brunch day a day ahead? How could i do that?
I’m with Jean. I followed your directions to the tee and my cake turned out a mess. Gooey and inedible.

Hi! I’m so sorry your cake didn’t turn out. Did you use fresh berries?
My cake fell apart..i used 2 cups of fresh berries. Do raspberries release too much juice? Also half was stuck to pan…i greased and floured… Will try again..this time im using parchment paper in the pan and no raspberries…what could i have done wrong…i did not overmix either
Oh, no!! 🙁 I’m so sorry to hear that – this is one of my favorite cakes! Did you toss the berries in flour or starch? The starch really helps keep the berry juice together so it doesn’t cause the cake to fall apart. I hope your next attempt is successful! 🙂
I’ve made this cake like 20 times and every time i make it we fall in love all over again.It’s a must try💯
So wonderful to hear! I’m very happy you’re enjoying the recipe!
I followed this recipe to perfection. Did not overmix the batter to avoid it being stringy but after 30 minutes in the oven the top was toasted and the entire center was completely liquid. I didn’t pay attention to the previous comments thinking my baking skills would work in my favor but this recipe is off. There’s no way this consistency is normal in a cake.
Hi Yajaira! This cake needs to be baked for 1 hour, not 30 minutes. Increase baking time for another 30 minutes! If the top gets too dark, you can lay a sheet of foil over the top to keep it from becoming too dark.
