Instructions
- Make sure the bundt cake is cool: This is an important step! Allow your bundt cake to cool completely as frosting a warm cake can result in the frosting to warm too much and run off the cake. Learn how to remove a bundt cake from a pan properly to make sure it cools perfectly.
- Achieve the right glaze consistency: Glaze or icing can vary in thickness, so you'll want to make sure the consistency of your glaze is right for the bundt cake. If you want it thick, like in my vanilla bundt cake recipe, the consistency should not be extremely runny but rather thick if you want a thinner consistency like this cinnamon glaze. Learn how to thicken frosting properly to get exactly what you need.
- Prepare the turn table: Place your turn table down on a sturdy level surface and then crisscross two pieces of parchment on top. This will collect all the extra icing if it spills over. Place the bundt cake on top of the parchment pieces.
- Pour the glaze: Once you've made the glaze, pour it into a measuring cup with a thin spout- this will help the icing come out evenly. Use one hand to turn the turn table or the cake stand and pour the glaze over the cake with the other. The spinning motion will help evenly distribute the glaze. If you have a lot of icing, use only enough to cover the cake at first, then see if you would like to add more and repeat the process.
- Collect excess frosting: Once you're finished, flip up the sides of the parchment paper and press it into the frosting that has spilled over to stop it from falling further.
- Let the frosting harden: Leave the cake to let the glaze harden. The time it takes to harden fully will depend on how thick the frosting is and the temperature of the environment. Generally, it will harden in 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bundt cake: Transfer the cake to the plate you are serving it on using your hands or with a large spatula. Alternatively, you can place the serving plate on top of the turn table and skip using the parchment paper. Follow the steps to ice it, being careful not to over ice so that the frosting doesn’t spill over the serving plate. Once it is on your desired serving plate, slice it and enjoy!
