Caramel Cream Cheese Bundt Cake
Caramel Cream Cheese Bundt Cake
This Caramel Cream Cheese Bundt Cake is a rich, buttery dessert that’s pure comfort in every slice. Brown sugar gives the cake a deep, caramel-like sweetness, while cream cheese creates a dense, velvety pound cake texture that stays moist for days. It’s slathered with an ooey, gooey caramel sauce that drips down the sides and soaks into every curve of the Bundt. It’s the perfect showstopper for holidays, potlucks, and family gatherings.
Equipment
- Bundt cake pan
Ingredients
- 1 yellow or golden butter cake mix
- 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 stick butter melted
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tablespoon vanilla
- caramel sauce or caramel ice cream topping for topping the baked cake
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a Bundt pan with Baker’s Joy, or grease and flour the pan. Set aside.
- Combine the cake mix, cream cheese, eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Blend on low until well combined. Reserve the caramel sauce for topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Place in the center of the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes.
- While the cake cools, warm the caramel sauce in the microwave according to the directions on the jar, if applicable. Remove the cake from the pan.
- While the cake is still warm, poke holes in the top with a toothpick or skewer. Slowly drizzle the caramel sauce over the cake.
- Serve warm or cooled.
Notes
For the caramel sauce, I used Smucker’s Simply Salted Caramel Sauce. Thanks to the salt, it’s not as sweet as plain caramel sauce. It also has few ingredients and chemicals.
Poking holes in the warm cake helps the caramel sauce soak into the inside instead of staying only on top.
