    Freezing: You can freeze your unfrosted bundt cake for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Thaw completely before glazing.

    This cake needs to be refrigerated. It includes perishable ingredients like sour cream, milk, eggs, and butter so it is recommended to keep it refrigerated.

    Substitutions

    All Purpose Flour: We don't recommend substituting the flour, but you can check out this article on Cake Flour vs. All-Purpose Flour or Substitutions for All-Purpose Flour

    Baking Powder: Baking powder is essential for this recipe. Do NOT substitute with baking soda.

    Baking Soda: Baking soda is essential for this recipe. Do not substitute with baking powder.

    Salted Butter: Butter is essential to this recipe. We haven't tried it with dairy free butter but it might work!

    Sugar: We don't recommend substituting white sugar unless you have to, but White sugar can be used interchangeably with brown sugar. You can add 1 teaspoon of molasses to white sugar to make brown sugar. Check out this post on Sugar Substitutes for Baking for other ideas.

    Eggs: We don't recommend substituting eggs, but you can read this article on Egg Substitutions for Baking if you need to substitute. Try it at your own risk!

    Sour Cream: This is essential in creating a beautifully moist cake, we don't recommend omitting it. If you need to substitute sour cream, unflavored greek yogurt is a perfect option. We also love this Lemon Ricotta Cake!

    Milk: You can substitute milk with half and half, low fat milk or non dairy milk.

    Vanilla Extract: Helps to add flavor, we don't recommend substituting.

    Frozen Raspberries: You can use fresh raspberries in this recipe as well. To keep your berries from sinking to the bottom of the pan, lightly dust them in flour before adding to the cake batter.

    Powdered Sugar: We don't recommend substituting as we use this to create the lemon glaze for the top.

    Lemon Juice & Zest: If you don't have access to fresh lemon, using bottled lemon juice will work just fine. The lemon flavor won't be as pronounced since lemon zest is very bold.

    Tips & Variations for this recipe

    • More Lemon: If you want more lemon flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon zest and juice to your cake batter.
    • Use fresh raspberries instead - Fresh raspberries will work just as well for this recipe. Generally, frozen fruits tend to taste a little bit sweeter, so using frozen raspberries gives you more sweetness.
    • Use salted butter for the lemon glaze - Use unsalted butter if you like; however, the salted butter helps cut through a little bit of the acidity from the lemon juice, which creates a more balanced sweetness.

    What makes a good bundt cake?

    • preparation of your pan. Make sure to grease all the crevasses so your turned-out cake keeps the perfect shape and nothing sticks inside the pan.
    • Measure carefully and do not over mix your batter. Too much flour will result in a drier cake, and over mixing will cause your cake to be dense.
    • Allowing your cake to cool for 10-20 minutes before turning it out will greatly reduce sticking. Alternatively, allowing it to cool too long will also increase the risk of your cake sticking to the pan.
