We all want that perfectly white, beautiful glaze glaze to add to our Bundt® cakes. There's a secret to making sure it's thick enough to not run or seep into your cake. And it's all about making sure it's extra, extra thick and NOT pourable. The best Bundt® cake icing is piped instead of poured.
Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar , or more as needed
- 2 tablespoons hot water , or more as needed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 splash vanilla extract
Instructions
-
1
Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons hot water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until combined. It should be thick, so add more powdered sugar and hot water as needed to reach a thick consistency.
-
2
Transfer icing to a zip-top bag and snip off a large corner of the bag.
-
3
Pipe icing slowly around the top of your Bundt® cake. The icing should be pretty stiff as you go around the cake; you can go over the same area of the cake as many times as needed to use all the icing. The icing will very slowly drip down the sides of the cake.

Nasty Cake
This is the absolute best Southern cake recipe ever. A friend of mine gave me this, and said her momma from Georgia gave it to her. We call it 'Nasty Cake' because it is so good, but has so many calories. This is not for those trying to watch their weight! Use a deep cake pan.
Tofu Satay with Peanut Sauce
Indonesian-style vegan satay marinade seasons skewered chunks of tofu before they're grilled. Serve with peanut sauce to replicate this Asian street food as an appetizer or, if desired, serve over rice for a meal.
Tudy's Key Lime Pie Poke Cake
My mother-in-law loves key lime pie. I wanted to make something different for her so I combined a key lime pie with a poke cake and this is what I came up with. She loved it. So we named it after her.
