My husband always told me he didn’t like cake…until we tried Nothing Bundt Cakes – and now it’s the only kind he’ll eat.
I decided to try my hand at making one at home (my favorite flavor) and it did NOT disappoint. It was moist, spongy, and absolutely DELICIOUS.
It’s white chocolate cake swirled with raspberry flavor and white chocolate chips, then topped with thick and creamy cream cheese frosting.
Quick ingredients
This bundt cake can be thrown together really quickly using a few simple ingredients that cost about $10 – when a bundt cake from the store can run upwards of $40.
To make it, you need sour cream, vegetable oil, instant pudding mix (either white chocolate or vanilla), white chocolate chips, white cake mix, eggs, and seedless raspberry jam.
Our favorite instant pudding to use is this White Chocolate Godiva – it adds such a tasty flavor to the cake! In a pinch, if you can’t find white chocolate instant pudding, you can use vanilla.
How to make white chocolate raspberry bundt cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs, and water.
In a small, microwaveable bowl, melt 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Pour melted chocolate into the cake mixture and stir until blended. Fold in the remaining white chocolate chips.
Generously spray and flour a 9″ bundt pan with cooking spray. Pour in half of the batter, then top with raspberry jam. Top with the remaining batter.
Bake 45-50 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool cake thoroughly in pan for about 90 minutes before inverting onto a plate (don’t let it sit in the pan for too long, or it can ruin the cake). If desired, pipe the top with cream cheese frosting.
How to make cream cheese frosting
Cream cheese frosting is the perfect addition to this Bundt cake. It only takes a few ingredients, but it makes enough to generously frost the entire cake. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, vanilla and milk until fluffy.
Slowly beat in powdered sugar until smooth. You can add more or less powdered sugar to reach the consistency you desire.

Tips for making bundt cakes:
- Use the right size pan. Different shapes/sizes of bundt cake pans will produce different results and will require different baking times. This is the pan we used for this recipe.
- Generously coat your pan with cooking spray (and flour if necessary). We like to use Baker’s Joy for best results. If your cake sticks to your pan, it probably means you didn’t coat it with enough cooking spray.
- Allow time for cooling. Bundt cakes can be touchy, and cooling is a VERY important step in making sure your bundt cake doesn’t fall apart. Allow the cake to cool, then invert it onto a serving plate and tap it gently on the outsides to help release the cake. (Allowing it to cool first will also keep the bottom from getting soggy.)
- Check for doneness. Most bundt cakes are a lot thicker and you will probably want to check for doneness with a long toothpick or even a skewer. It should come out clean when the bundt cake is done cooking.

The recipe looked and sounded so good. The jam appears to have all settled to the bottom of my bundt pan (now that I’ve turned it out of the pan, of course the jam is the top of my cake and very gooey). Any ideas? I actually cut back about 1/4 C because it looked like a lot of jam in the batter. Im wondering about trying to swirl it throughout the batter next time.
-
I had a similar issue. It seemed to me as well to be too much jam, but every other recipe from here has turned out great so I followed what they said. In the recipe it says “1 cup divided”, but I could never tell where or how it should have been divided? My cake fell apart and is ruined. 🙁 If I try it again I will use much less jam. The top of my cake that wasn’t ruined was a gooey mess as well.
-
I tried swirling a good amount of the jam through the batter to avoid the gooey mess that others experienced and it STILL ruined the top of the cake. I think the recipe needs to be reviewed again if this is happening to so many people. It's really disheartening to spend so much time and money for something to end up as a mess 😔 I was hoping to serve this for a family gathering.

The raspberry jam they use has seeds in them... try piping the jam onto the batter (about 3oz) and then swirling it in by twisting a spatula around the pan.

Do you make the pudding and cake mix according g to instructions before adding it to make the bundt cake?

Super delish! Family said it was the best cake yet! I baked for 48 minutes in a Wilson bundt cake pake. I first placed about 1 cup of the batter before mixing in the chips (which I had chopped). I then added another cup or so before swirling the raspberry pie filling. Wonderful! (NOTE: The frosting instructions conflicted with the ingredients, so I used the lemon bundt cake frosting - also from this site - which was a hit in my family last month.) Thanks for the recipes!
-
Too much jam, gooey topping. Ingredients for cake calls for sour cream, and frosting calls for sour cream in instructions BUT not in the ingredients! How much sour cream goes into frosting. I'll cut back on vanilla next time so one can actually taste the cream cheese. Merry Christmas.

My teenage daughter made this for Mother's Day yesterday. It was so good!! But she definitely had to improvise and modify along the way. She tried the trick with the jam but it all still settled at the bottom. Once the cake was set she took it out of the pan and put it in the freezer for a few hours. Since the frosting recipe wasn't a complete recipe she found a different one on your site. She then frosted the whole cake (instead of just pipping it on). Then decorated the top with raspberries and white chocolate. I LOVED the gooey under the frosting. And the texture and moisturize of the cake was awesome. With a few modifications this cake can definitely me amazing.
