Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup whole almonds
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda

3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk

  • Combine butter, brown sugar, flour, white sugar, and cinnamon for streusel in a bowl. Blend using a pastry blender. Stir in almonds gently and set aside.

Almond bundt cake made from cake mix recipes is a popular and delicious dessert that can be easily made at home. It is a simple cake recipe that requires very little effort and can be made in a short time. The almond bundt cake is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests. In this article, we will discuss some valuable tips on how to make almond bundt cake from cake mix recipes that will ensure your cake turn out perfect every time.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Cake Mix

The first and most important tip for making a delicious almond bundt cake is to choose the right cake mix. There are many different types of cake mixes available in the market, and it is important to choose a mix that is specifically designed for bundt cakes. These mixes are heavier and have a more dense texture that is perfect for bundt cakes. Some popular brands that make bundt cake mixes are Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines and Pillsbury.

Tip 2: Use Good Quality Almond Extract

One of the key ingredients that give the almond bundt cake its flavor is almond extract. It is important to use good quality almond extract as it can make a huge difference in the taste of the cake. Look for pure almond extract, which is made only from almonds and alcohol, and avoid the artificial ones that are made with synthetic chemicals.

Tip 3: Add Additional Flavors

To enhance the flavor of your almond bundt cake, you can add additional flavors such as vanilla, lemon or orange zest, or even a little bit of cinnamon. These flavors will complement the almond flavor and give your cake a unique and delicious taste. You can experiment with different flavors to find the one that you like the best.

Tip 4: Use Room Temperature Ingredients

Using room temperature ingredients is important when making any cake, including almond bundt cake. This is because room temperature ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter. It is recommended to take your eggs and butter out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you start baking.

Tip 5: Grease the Bundt Pan

To ensure that your almond bundt cake comes out smoothly and with all its details intact, it is important to grease the bundt pan properly. You can use cooking spray, butter, or oil to grease the pan thoroughly. Make sure that every nook and cranny of the pan is coated with the grease to ensure that the cake does not stick to the pan.

Tip 6: Use a Flour or Sugar Dusting

In addition to greasing the bundt pan, it is also a good idea to add a flour or sugar dusting to the pan. This will help the cake to come out smoothly and prevent it from sticking to the pan. You can use flour or sugar, depending on the flavor of the cake.

Tip 7: Be Patient When Baking

Patience is key when baking almond bundt cake. The cake needs to be baked for a long time, usually around 45-50 minutes, before it is ready. It is important not to open the oven door during baking as this can cause the cake to sink or crack. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tip 8: Let the Cake Cool Before Removing from the Pan

Once the cake is done baking, it is important to let it cool down before removing it from the pan. This will help the cake to settle and come out more smoothly. Let the cake rest in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before you invert it onto a serving plate.

Tip 9: Garnish with Almonds

To give your almond bundt cake a finishing touch, garnish it with some toasted almonds. You can either sprinkle the almonds on top of the cake or arrange them in a decorative pattern. This will not only enhance the flavor of the cake but also make it look more attractive.

Conclusion

Almond bundt cake made from cake mix recipes is a delicious and easy dessert that can be made at home. If you follow the tips mentioned above, you can be assured that your cake will turn out perfect every time. Remember to choose the right cake mix, use good quality almond extract, add additional flavors, use room temperature ingredients, grease and dust the bundt pan, be patient when baking, let the cake cool before removing from the pan, and garnish with almonds to make a delicious and beautiful cake that will impress your guests.
