White Chocolate Bundt Cake, one of those simple cakes I make when I want something soft and indulgent without complicating my day. It’s made with ingredients we almost always have at home: flour, eggs, sugar, milk, butter and that special touch of white chocolate that makes it delicate and irresistible. It’s perfect for the breakfast, but also great for an afternoon snack.
The batter is soft and fragrant thanks to the vanillin, and while it bakes it fills the kitchen with a very inviting aroma. If you like homemade cakes, this is one to try at least once. It reminds me a bit of the chocolate bundt cake with milk chocolate, but with a sweeter, more enveloping flavor.
You can serve it as is or enrich it with a dusting of powdered sugar. Trust me, it will disappear in no time!

Ingredients for the White Chocolate Bundt Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs (medium)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 5.3 oz white chocolate
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 7 tbsp butter
- 1 packet vanillin (vanilla flavoring)
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- as needed butter
- as needed all-purpose flour
- as needed powdered sugar (optional)
Preparation WHITE CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. When it is almost completely melted, add the butter and let it melt; set aside to cool slightly.
Place the eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl; whisk with an electric mixer until you obtain a pale and fluffy mixture.
Add the vanillin, the whole milk at room temperature and the slightly warm chocolate-and-butter mixture; combine with the mixer.
Add the flour and baking powder sifted together, then mix everything with the mixer on low speed.
Pour the batter into a buttered and floured bundt pan about 8 2/3 in in diameter (22 cm); level it with the back of a spoon.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) static or 320°F (160°C) fan-forced for about 50 minutes (I used a fan oven). Always do the toothpick test.
Leave the bundt cake in the turned-off oven with the door slightly ajar for 5 minutes.
Remove the white chocolate bundt cake from the oven, let it cool slightly then remove it from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Before serving you can dust the bundt cake with powdered sugar.
Your white chocolate bundt cake is ready to enjoy.
