Notes

  • I cannot stress this enough-grease your bundt pan very well.  You do not want your cake batter sticking- which I’ve had happen due to not greasing the pan properly.  Make sure your cooking spray is gluten-free.
  • Oven temperatures vary.  Cook time for this recipe is between 70-90 minutes.  My Bundt Cake took 85 minutes to be fully done.  
  • Insert a toothpick into the center of the Bundt cake.  If it comes out clean then it is done.
  • The batter is very thick.  It will fill almost fill up the whole 10 cup bundt pan.
  • Please use the scoop and level method when measuring gluten-free flour.
  • Not all gluten free flours are created equal.  My favorite gluten-free flour is hands down Cup 4 Cup.  This is readily available in most grocery stores and sold on Amazon.
  • Make sure all your wet ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Let your Bundt Cake fully cool before adding powder sugar or a glaze.
  • Store in an airtight container or covered cake dish.
  • Eat within a few days to enjoy a moist Bundt Cake.  Gluten-free cakes I have found start to try out around day 3.  I usually eat enough that there is no cake left after day 2.
  • I highly recommend using a KitchenAid Stand Mixer with this recipe if you have one.
