Instructions
Greasing Bundt Cake
- Prep and measure ingredients.
- In a candy melting pot, mix together vegetable shortening and all-purpose flour, and turn on high.
- Once the shortening has melted, whisk everything together with a hand whisk until combined. Alternatively, you can use a microwave to melt the shortening.
- Brush the Bundt cake pan with a silicone brush.
Bundt Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prep and measure all ingredients.
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, standing by for their role in the batter.
- Pour in the milk, integrating it with the eggs.
- Briskly whisk the milk and eggs together until they're thoroughly combined.
- To the egg mixture, add melted (yet cooled) butter, your chosen cake mix, and a dash of ground cinnamon for a warm, aromatic touch.
- Using your hand whisk, mix everything together until you achieve a smooth, homogenous batter.
- Gently fold in the shredded carrots.
- Distribute them evenly throughout the batter with a silicone spatula.
- Carefully transfer the batter into your prepared Bundt cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even bake.
- Place the cake in the oven, baking for 40-50 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean when it's done. Let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing.
- Move the cake to a wire rack to cool completely, which should take about 1-2 hours. Use a digital thermometer to check that it reaches a temperature of 70-75°F.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Measure all your frosting ingredients first to streamline the process.
- In a glass mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter at room temperature, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add confectioner’s sugar and beat together until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Once the frosting reaches the desired consistency, it's ready to be used.
- Spoon it into a 21-inch piping bag fitted with your chosen tip.
Decorating bundt cake
- Carefully lift the cooled cake onto a cake stand or cake board, readying it for its final beautification.
- Pipe the cream cheese frosting over the cake in your desired pattern, adding a touch of elegance.
- For an extra flourish, pipe a large swirl of the leftover frosting in the center of the cake.
Packaging bundt cake for transportation or gifting
- Carefully place the decorated cake into a paper white box, suitable for transportation or gifting.
- Secure the box closed. Embellish it with a ribbon and personalize with a sticker for a special touch.
