Bundt Cake with Pudding Center: A Delicious Twist!

This recipe combines the moistness of a bundt cake with the creamy indulgence of pudding for a truly decadent dessert.

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

* 2 cups all-purpose flour

* 2 teaspoons baking powder

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

* 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar

* 4 large eggs

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1 cup milk

* 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

For the Pudding:

* 1 (3.4 oz) box instant pudding mix (any flavor)

* 1 1/4 cups milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pudding: Prepare the pudding according to package directions. Let it cool completely.

2. Prepare the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.

6. Alternate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.

7. Mix in Nuts (Optional): Fold in the chopped nuts.

8. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan.

9. Add Pudding: Carefully spoon the chilled pudding over the batter, making sure it's evenly distributed.

10. Pour Remaining Batter: Pour the remaining batter over the pudding, spreading it evenly to cover the pudding completely.

11. Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

12. Cool and Glaze (Optional): Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can drizzle with your favorite glaze (optional).

Tips:

* Choose your pudding flavor wisely: Vanilla pudding is a classic choice, but feel free to experiment with chocolate, chocolate chip, or even fruit-flavored pudding for a unique twist.

* Don't over-mix: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough cake. Mix just until combined.

* Test for doneness: Use a wooden skewer to ensure the cake is fully baked. If it comes out clean, it's done.

* Let it cool completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before inverting it. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.

Enjoy your delicious bundt cake with a creamy pudding center!
