Optional Cream Cheese Filling (Extra Decadence)
If you want an even richer cake, try adding a cream cheese filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk together until smooth. Before adding the full cake batter to the bundt pan, layer half of the batter, then spoon in the cream cheese filling (keeping it away from the edges), and finish with the remaining batter. Bake as directed.
Tips & Storage
- Storage: Wrap cooled cake in plastic wrap or foil and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Make ahead: This cake is even better the next day as the flavors develop. Bake ahead and store tightly wrapped.
- Serving idea: Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dreamy dessert experience.
