Special Notes

This copycat Nothing Bundt Cake recipe captures the moist, dense texture of the original. The combination of cake mix and pudding mix creates a rich, tender crumb. The sour cream adds moisture and tanginess that makes this cake special. The simple glaze adds sweetness without overwhelming the cake. For the best results, don't overmix the batter and make sure the pan is well-greased. This cake keeps well and can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
