Bundt pans indeed yield the most beautiful of cakes. Easy to prepare and much less complicated since the pans do most of the styling and shaping. The frosting is also not a must; if used, it is not very detailed like in layer cakes. A drizzle, glaze or rough spread dollops of frosting always do the trick.

Avoid overmixing the cake butter once the flour is added.

Incorporate melted chocolate or chocolate shavings in the cream cheese frosting.
