There’s nothing like a slice of warm cinnamon cake with a steaming mug of coffee! It’s a classic treat that smells and tastes like home.
How To Make A Cinnamon Bundt Cake
Step One: Cinnamon Streusel
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Then, cut in the cubed butter until coarse crumbs form. Set the bowl aside.
Step Two: Spiced Cake Batter
Next, prepare the spiced cake batter. In a second bowl, whisk together the cake mix, vanilla instant pudding mix, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
Then, add the whole milk, large eggs, and melted butter. Mix the batter on low speed until combined, and then beat on medium speed for two minutes.
Step Three: Assemble Cinnamon Bundt Cake Layers
To prepare the 12-inch fluted cake pan, grease it well and then dust it with flour. Put half of the cinnamon streusel on the bottom of the pan and spread it out in an even layer. Next, spoon half of the cake batter on top and spread it out to cover the streusel. Then, repeat with the remaining streusel and batter.
Step Four: Bake
Bake the cinnamon Bundt cake at 350˚F for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes, and then remove it from the pan to cool on a wire rack.
Step Five: Glaze
This cake mix coffee cake is delicious as is, but why not add a simple powdered sugar glaze? The contrasting glaze adds visual interest to the Bundt cake and gives it the “wow factor”!
Mix together the powdered sugar and milk. You can add more or less milk depending on how thin you want the glaze. Then, use a spoon to drizzle it over the cake.
Cutting The Cake
The streusel on top forms a delicious, caramelized crust! You can cut the cake into slices before the top layer hardens. Or, use a serrated knife to cut it, starting at the hole in the center of the cake.
Make Ahead and Storage
Cinnamon streusel Bundt cake is delicious when warm! But you can make it ahead of time and warm up the whole cake or even a slice before enjoying it.
- Make Ahead: Bake the cake and then allow it to cool completely before storing it whole or in slices.
- Storage: Tightly cover the cooled cake with plastic wrap and store it at room temperature for up to two days. To freeze the cake, add a layer of aluminum foil over the plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for 1-2 months.
