Can I use butter instead of oil in this bundt cake?

Yes, you can swap half or all of the oil with melted butter. It adds richness, though oil makes the crumb slightly more tender and moist.

Why do my chocolate chips sink in bundt cake?

To prevent sinking, toss your mini chips in a spoonful of flour before folding them into the batter. This keeps them suspended while baking.

Can I make this bundt cake ahead of time?

Absolutely. Bake and cool it completely, then wrap in foil. It tastes even better the next day. You can store it at room temp or refrigerate.

How do I know when my bundt cake is done?

Insert a toothpick in the thickest part—it should come out mostly clean with a few crumbs. If it’s wet, bake a few minutes more and check again. Craving more bundt magic? Don’t miss the Mini Chocolate Chip Bundt Cakes or our cozy Brown Sugar Sour Cream Bundt .
