    First of all, I was not a fan of caramel at all.  In fact, I avoided it at all costs only because when I was in high school, the caramel always stuck to my braces and I had a hard time cleaning it out.

    However, just this past year I’ve grown to love eating caramel, especially any recipes that have the phrase “salted caramel”.  I really hope you enjoy this recipe and let me know what is your favorite salted caramel recipe!

    Tips on How to Make Salted Caramel Bundt Cake

    • Always sift dry ingredients like flour, baking powder, baking soda, and even sugar. It will help you achieve a smoother batter in a shorter period of time.
    • For your cake to cool down faster take it out from the pan and let it sit on a cooling wire rack.
    • If you want mini bundt cakes, you can use the same recipe but just use smaller bundt cake pans.
    • Always have a cooking spray handy in your kitchen. It will make your baking and cooking sessions so much easier.
    • Feel free to omit the caramel sauce and use icing sugar instead or go without the sauce completely.  It will still taste just as good.

    How to Make Salted Caramel Bundt Cake:

    As always, before starting working on any baking recipe, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease bundt pan generously.

    This is it! Allow your bundt cake to cool down for about 15-20 minutes until it’s ready to be glazed:

    While waiting for the cake to cool down, you can make the caramel glaze.

    Pour the caramel glaze over bundt cake and sprinkle with sea salt for that perfect sweet and salty taste:

      The batter is the consistency of peanut butter, hard to spread in my cake pan. And the glaze recipe is a total fail. I used the exact proportions, exact ingredients. Exact inatructions. All thin, watery looking…but no water added. Light yellow and watery. Not at all like you glaze in your pictures or video. But the video doesn’t show you actually making the glaze, so what did you really use when you glazed the cake? Obviously not this glaze recipe.

      The picture is NOT the “glaze” in the recipe. I had to melt butterscotch chips into the very white thin glaze to get anything remotely like a frosting. I notice the video doesn’t show the glaze being made – for a reason. Also, I’ve had it in the freezer for 30 minutes to cool and it still hasn’t thickened up. What a waste of my time on a busy morning.
