Tips for making bundt cake
- Use a pastry brush to grease the cake pan with butter. This will make sure you get all the crevices. Next sprinkle with flour, then turn cake pan upside down and bang the side with your hand to shake off any excess flour. Doing this will ensure the cake does not stick to the bundt pan when removing it.
- For the best flavor and texture I use full fat eggnog.
- Vanilla beans give exceptional flavor to baking, but you can substitute pure vanilla extract.
- I use a whisk to fully combine all the dry ingredients together.
