How Do You Make A Box Cake Mix Denser For Bundt Recipes?
Bundt cakes are baked in a bundt or fluted tube pan, giving them a distinctive ridged ring. To keep a cake’s shape and size when removed from the pan, the batter needs to be denser than that for a sheet or layer cake. But what if you only have a box of cake mix? By altering the instructions on the box, you can make a box cake mix denser for your Bundt recipes. The added fat from the sour cream or cake icing adds to the heaviness and density of this cake while the extra flour helps give it more stability. This cake resembles a pound cake in its density and moistness and will stand on its own outside of the Bundt pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat the inside of the Bundt pan with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil and a dusting of flour. Combine the cake mix, pudding mix or flour, sour cream or icing, oil, eggs and water. Beat on medium speed for two minutes to combine until the batter is smooth and heavy. Pour the prepared batter into the Bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees
