How do you adjust the baking time on a Bundt pan? ›

How long to leave cake in Bundt pan before removing? ›

What causes a bundt cake to sink in the middle? ›

Overbeating, Overmixing, or Undermixing Your Cake Batter

Too much air and your cake will collapse because it simply can't hold onto all that air. Overbeating can add too much additional air and/or large air bubbles which the cake can't support, causing it to collapse in the oven.

How do you make a bundt cake come out perfectly? ›

The best way to ensure your cake comes out of the pan cleanly is to grease it well from the start.

To grease a Bundt pan, take a dollop of shortening on a paper towel and wipe the interior of the pan.

Can you use Pam to grease a Bundt pan? ›
