Say “hello” to my very first successful bundt cake. Yes, I just said successful.
For others removing the cake might seem like a breeze, for me it was a deal-breaker. I’ve tried lots times and different tricks to remove the cake from the pan without a piece of two stuck to the pan. At one time I had given up even the idea of ever making a bundt cake. It just wasn’t for me I told myself as a consolation.
That until I found the right pan. It’s not a light weight pan like my previous one, doesn’t have too many creases (hope that’s the right word)
My husband loves this pound cake I found a while back on about.com and I’ve made it lots of times in a loaf pan but this time I wanted to make it in my brand-new bundt pan.
Although I think I should have taken the cake out 1-2 minutes earlier, it still turned out moist and tender and in one piece. I saw so happy I did a little dance. Now I can dream of bundt cakes again. I’m already planning to get myself a new pan with a new design like this one, or maybe even this one, and if I feel adventurous I may even join my friend Lora and her #bundtamonth. I can do it! yes, I can now make bundt cakes!! Yuppy!
The bundt cake is made with Chobani Yogurt to keep it moist even after few days. When the cake was completely cooled I melted a bag of Wilton white candy and poured it over the cake. For the red drizzle (it had to have that Christmas-y look) I melted Wilton red candy and drizzled it over the white coating.
I was so excited about the cake that I didn’t realize once the cake is covered in white candy it will be a little hard to slice. Indeed, the candy coating cracks a little when slicing, but it’s not impossible to serve, plus it keep the moisture inside making this cake delicious to the last crumb. Serve it with cream or fresh fruit, or even more yogurt like we did.
Moist and light Green yogurt pound cake covered in white candy and red drizzles for a festive look.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 grams) butter
- 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) sugar
- 2 large eggs plus 2 egg whites
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups (420 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 bag Wilton white candy
- 1/3 cup Wilton red candy
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease (I used Pillsbury baking spray) one 15 cup bundt cake pan. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl cream the butter until light and fluffy slowly adding the sugar.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue mixing. Add the eggs and egg whites and mix until creamy and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
- With the mixer running on low speed, begin adding the flour mixture and the yogurt to the batter alternately. Do not over mix.
- Spoon the batter into the cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting on to a plate.
- Cool completely.
- Melt the white candy in a micrawave safe bowl and with the back of the spoon spread it over the cake. Let sit few minutes until hard.
- Melt the red candy now. Pour the melted red candy in a piping bag and drizzle over the cake. You can also use a fork, which one works best for you.
- Slice and enjoy!

Nothing like a gorgeous bundt cake…and this looks sensational!!! I’m on my way to Fredericksburg! Save me a slice please!!!
It is so pretty and Christmasy and festive. I love your bundt!
As far as yogurt goes, I like plain Greek yogurt. That’s how I was raised. 
My favorite yogurt is cherry! I really like your bundt cake it’s so pretty! Also I like the idea of white chocolate instead of frosting on the cake! You could take it one step further and drizzle alittle bit of green candy too that would make it really pop even more! Either way it would still be yummy!
I don’t believe this is your first successful bundt cake! With all the baking you do? I love Chobani and their yogurt really adds to a cake’s tenderness! I do believe that this cake is delicious, though
plain for baking
Congratulations on your first bundt, it’s beautiful! I know we’ll see many more from you in the months to come. Love the festive look for the holidays!
That is so pretty it doesn’t matter what it tastes like. No, actually it does matter. I love those two baking tins you put the links to.
I use Chobani’s plain non-fat greek yogurt almost every day instead of sour cream. It’s so yummy, I even got my husband using it!
Cinnamon apple
Plain is my favorite Chobani yogurt. It can be mixed with so many things. I always use a cup in my smoothies.
I love the lemon and the blood orange.
Roxana, this cake is so festive and I’ll be delicious! I like the vanilla, then I can add fruit or granola or chocolate chips to it, just goes with everything!

i love strawberry!
Honey! It has just a little sweetness
I love the pomegrante but then again I love the blood orange and the honey as well….but most are wonderful. The only problem is I may not have internet access for about a week so I may not be able to respond in 48 hours.
At our house the plain yogurt is used and we add a bunch of things to it (honey, berries), or use it instead of sour cream in baking:)
I love the pineapple Chobani Greek yogurt
My favorite Chobani yogurt right now is passionfruit!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Going to bring it to family Christmas!
I’ve only had the plain but the passion fruit sounds so good!
I don’t think I’ve ever tried Chobani (so I can’t have a favorite flavor), but I do love Greek yogurt. =D
I love strawberry Chobani!
