Whether it's a Christmas cake, a birthday cake, or just a cake for enjoying on a Sunday afternoon, they're an easy way to make any day feel like a special occasion.

But what is a Bundt cake, you might ask? A Bundt cake is basically any cake that's baked in a Bundt pan. The ring-shaped pans have a hole in the middle (kind of like a giant donut), which allows for increased heat circulation in the oven and a perfectly baked cake every time. They also can be fluted for an instantly intricate design. That means, you won't have to do much to make them pretty! Just be sure to follow our tips for how to get your cake out of the pan and it couldn't be easier. There's no need for any extra flourishes, but some of the recipes ahead will also add a dusting of powdered sugar, a glaze, or even a frosting for that extra decorative step. But don't worry, anyone can make them—even first-time bakers!
