Every year about this time I just can’t resist making another Churro flavored dessert. There is something so comforting and wonderful about cinnamon sugar. This Churro Bundt Cake just might be my best recipe yet! A delicious cinnamon kissed white cake {made with a cake mix} is coated in melted butter so that the perfect mixture of cinnamon sugar can stick. Every bite is heavenly! Whether you make it for Cinco de Mayo or a random weekday it will be perfection.

It wasn’t until my first trip to Disneyland that I was introduced to a glorious Churro!

One bite of that crispy and cinnamon laden pastry and I was completely hooked.

This cake is a great combination of soft cake and an almost crispy outside. The best part {in my opinion}is the caramel drizzle.

I love a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top but I can promise you that even a single piece of Churro Bundt Cake will be just right.

How to make a Churro Bundt Cake with a Cake Mix

Start by combining a cake mix with melted butter, eggs, water and cinnamon in a large bowl.

You could use vegetable oil instead of melted butter but butter is pretty hard to beat.

Use a hand held mixer {or stir by hand} for about 2 minutes or until you get a beautiful and smooth cake batter.

Look at the flecks of cinnamon!

Pour the cake batter into a Bundt pan that has been liberally sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Be sure to spread the batter out into an even layer so that it bakes evenly.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean.

You can also tell a cake is done by pressing down on it with your finger. When the cake springs back it is ready. If it leaves an indentation, it needs a little more time.

Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.

Turning a Bundt Cake into a Churro Cake in 2 Easy Steps

To turn the cake into a Churro Cake you need two items…melted butter and cinnamon sugar mixture.

Brush the melted butter onto the cake, making sure that it is completely covered. While the cake is still wet, go back and add cinnamon sugar on the entire outside.

The final step {and it is totally optional} is to drizzle salted caramel on top of the cake.

I personally love salted caramel with a churro but a chocolate drizzle would also be just as wonderful.

Honestly, it is perfect without it but why not add a little extra awesomeness!

The only thing left to do is slice yourself a piece and enjoy every last bite.

I can’t wait to serve it to my family again on May 5th because it is always such a hit. Make it for your family and friends and find out for yourself.

5 Helpful Steps for Getting the Best Bundt Cake

1. Spray your Bundt pan liberally with nonstick spray right before you add the batter. That way the oil doesn’t slide down the pan to the bottom before you are ready to pour the batter into it.
2. Spread the cake batter out into an even layer so that the cake bakes evenly.
3. Don’t over bake the cake. Remove the cake from the oven as soon as a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or when you press on the cake and it springs back.
4. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before inverting it from the pan. This will give it enough time to pull away from the sides of the pan.
5. Don’t sweat it if there are parts of the cake that stick. Remove the pieces from the pan and place them on cake and move on. It will still be wonderful!!
