Man do I love Bundt cakes…

I know I don’t make them often, but every day I get a little bliss.

It starts at about 5:30 in the morning and it lasts for about 90 minutes.  It’s 90 minutes of silence, still, quietness before the day starts.

I usually do a little reading in the morning, reflecting, some work, all while drinking coffee and if I’m lucky enough a slice of Bundt cake.

Don’t get me wrong I love seeing my family when they wake up, but that little bit of me time with a big hot black coffee and a delicious slice of homemade sour cream bundt cake is just glorious!

Some people may think of Bundt cakes as a dessert, but to me it’s a sweet breakfast treat!

Ingredients for a Sour Cream Bundt Cake:

Bundt cakes are incredibly easy to make, in fact they are essentially pound cakes.

I decided with this Bundt cake recipe to add a few things to it to help flavor it and assist in making it moist and delicious.

Adding sour cream to a Bundt cake significantly helps to moisten it up and provide some interesting flavor profiles.

A huge part to the success of the Bundt cake lies in the flour you use.  I’m a Bob’s Red Mill guy, and their pastry flour is amazing!

It is jam packed with protein making it ideal for cake making.  Honestly, it’s the best!

The other flour I used was Bob’s Red Mill Almond flour because I wanted to add in some amazing almond flavor to compliment the caramel that is going on top.  Yeah, it’s good!

I also used a bit of Amaretto to help further push that almond agenda :-).

How to Make a Sour Cream Bundt Cake:

Making a sour cream Bundt cake all starts with creaming together your fat and sugar.

Once the butter is a little light and fluffy, which usually takes about 5 minutes or so, you then add in 1 egg at a time until it’s mixed.

While all those delicious things are mixing add your dry ingredients to a bowl and mix, and then you alternate your dry ingredients with the remaining wet ingredients ending with wet.

Steps to Making a Bundt Cake:

• Step 1: Cream together butter and sugars.
• Step 2: Add in 1 egg at a time until combined.
• Step 3: Mix together dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Step 4: Alternate adding dry ingredients and wet ingredients into the creamed butter and sugar ending with wet ingredients.
• Step 5: Transfer the batter to a Bundt cake and bake.
• Step 6: Make your caramel sauce.
• Step 7: Pour the caramel sauce over top of the cooled Bundt cake and serve.

Making a Homemade Caramel Sauce:

Now because I need a runnier caramel sauce to pour over the Bundt cake we are going to add in some evaporated milk.

I know, it sounds weird but it’s also going to help stabilized it a little bit.  Homemade caramel is super easy to make in general.

Homemade caramel consists of brown sugar, butter and heavy cream, that’s it.  In a simpler form sugar and butter but man I’ve burned that version way too many times.

Serving a Sour Cream Bundt Cake:

There’s not much to serving up a Bundt cake, other than pouring the homemade caramel sauce over top.

Just simply slice and serve and you are good to go!
