German Bundt: A Cinnamon Butter Cake Recipe
Early in our marriage, my sister-in-law gave me a recipe for German Bundt Cake. I bet that you are thinking this would be a German Chocolate recipe. But this family fave is actually a Cinnamon Butter Cake recipe- and it’s amazing!
Yes once again- in our house, this is usually enjoyed as a breakfast coffee cake instead of after dinner treat. But really it is so good anytime of the day. I also love that it is a modified cake mix recipe- easy to make and I always have the ingredients on hand.
You will love the moistness of this cake. And the butter flavor pairs so well with the cinnamon pecan filling/topping.
And as Maria Portokalos noted… yes “There’s a hole in this cake!”

Looks absolutely scrumptious! Would it still be good leaving out the imitation butter flavoring? Not crazy about using imitation flavorings. Do you think I could double the vanilla? Probably wouldn’t be as buttery tasting, but I bet it would still be 😋!

It is “truly scrumptious”! 😉 Sure you could leave out the imitation butter, just call it a cinnamon cake!
