Easy Snickerdoodle Bundt Cake: A Cinnamon Swirl Delight

Ingredients

Scale

Vanilla Cake

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup butter (melted)

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Vanilla Cake:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, mix cake mix, eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.

2️⃣ Create the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until mixed.

3️⃣ Assemble and Bake:

  • Spray a Bundt pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour half the cake batter into the pan. Spoon half the cinnamon swirl mixture on top. Swirl it into the batter with a toothpick.
  • Add the remaining cake batter, then top with the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture. Swirl again.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with crumbs (but no raw batter). Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a serving plate.

4️⃣ Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar, mixing until frosting consistency. Add a little milk if needed.
  • Use a piping bag (or a plastic bag with the corner snipped) to drizzle the glaze in a zigzag over the cooled cake.

5️⃣ Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:

  • Best served fresh or store in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months!

 

Notes

Pro Tip: If the cake sticks to the Bundt pan, gently run a knife around the edges to help it release.
