Instructions
 

Greasing Bundt Cake

  • Prep and measure ingredients; preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a candy melting pot, combine vegetable shortening and unsweetened cocoa powder; turn to high heat.
  • Once melted, whisk the shortening and cocoa powder until combined. Alternatively, use a microwave for melting.

Bundt Cake

  • Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk the eggs thoroughly.
  • Add the milk to the eggs and whisk vigorously until fully combined.
  • Pour in the cake mix and melted (cooled) butter to the egg mixture.
  • Mix with a hand whisk until smooth.
  • Add 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour and whisk again until smooth.
  • Using your hand whisk, mix everything together until you achieve a smooth, homogenous batter.
  • Use a silicone brush to coat the Bundt cake pan with the vegetable shortening mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (1-2 hours). Check the temperature to reach 70-75°F with a digital thermometer.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Transfer the store-bought Salted Caramel Frosting into a medium bowl and whisk on high with a hand mixer.

Decorating bundt cake

  • With a silicone spatula, spread the frosting over the cake and create swirls.
  • Sprinkle gingerbread man sprinkles on top of the frosting.

Packaging bundt cake for transportation or gifting

  • Place the decorated cake into a white paper box for transportation or gifting.
  • Secure the box and add a ribbon and personalized sticker for a special touch.
