Ingredients
  

For the Cake:
  • 1 box white cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 1 box instant cheesecake pudding mix (3.4 ounces)
  • 1 cup 2% or whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs slightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract for frosting

Equipment

  • Bundt Pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Method:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease your Bundt pan with cooking spray or butter, and dust it lightly with flour.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix and instant cheesecake pudding mix; whisk until well blended.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the milk, vegetable oil, beaten eggs, vanilla paste, and almond extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Pour the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and mix until smooth, then add the vanilla paste.
  10. Once cooled, drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the top of the Bundt cake.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, use a sugar-free cake mix and pudding mix.
  • Replace vegetable oil with applesauce for a healthier alternative.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
