If you love the warm cinnamon-sugar flavor of classic snickerdoodle cookies, then this Snickerdoodle Bundt Cake Recipe is for you!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box yellow or vanilla cake mix
  • 1 cup sour cream (adds moisture)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl:

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

For the Copycat Nothing Bundt Cake Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Bundt Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray, ensuring all crevices are covered. Lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Cake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed until the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cake dense.

Step 3: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl

In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. Pour half of the cake batter into the Bundt pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter on top, ensuring it covers the cinnamon layer.

Step 4: Bake the Cake

Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 10 minutes.

Step 5: Cool & Remove from the Pan

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before frosting.

Step 6: Prepare the Frosting

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more milk if needed.

Step 7: Frost the Bundt Cake

Use a piping bag or spoon to drizzle the frosting over the cooled cake. For a Nothing Bundt Cake-style frosting, pipe thick ribbons down the sides.

Notes

✔️ Grease the Pan Well – Use butter and flour or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
✔️ Don’t Overmix the Batter – Overmixing can result in a dense cake.
✔️ Cool Before Frosting – Applying frosting to a warm cake can cause it to melt.
