Tips for the Best Bundt Cake
Before you bake, it is important to make sure that your baking will guarantee success. Some of these tips will help!
- Do not mix the dough. Mix just until each ingredient is well incorporated.
- Use room temperature ingredients. The egg and sourdough batter should sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you start making your recipe.
- If you don't have a sourdough starter or throw it away, then you can simply replace it with some flour and yogurt, for a similar taste.
- For the glaze, you can alternate a thin or a thicker glaze depending on the taste of your dessert.
- The recipe may make more cake batter than your 6-cup pan can hold. That's why it's best to have a muffin pan on hand for leftover batter and to minimize waste.
