Somebody told me today was National Bundt Cake Day, so in honor of this grand occasion, here are a few of my all-time favorite (easy) Bundt cakes. I've updated the list a bit. Some of these, like the Applesauce Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake, have been favorites for decades now!
Chocolate Cake Mix Bundt Cake -- A basic cake mix doctored with pudding mix and sour cream. It's hard to go wrong with this one.
Midori Bundt Cake -- A little out of the ordinary and a fun excuse to buy Midori.
Buttermilk Blueberry Bundt Cake
Mrs. Fields' Poppy Seed Bundt Cake -- An excellent scratch cake from Debs.
Applesauce Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake -- This one sounds a little strange, but it's incredible. The apple flavor is pretty subtle.
Chocolate Pumpkin Bundt Cake -- From Eating Well Magazine, this cake is slightly lower in fat but still very good.
Key Lime Bundt Cake with Margarita Icing -- Not exactly Thanksgiving-ish, but very good!
Chardonnay Cake -- This one might come in handy after Thanksgiving when there are half open bottles of wine around.
Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake -- An old favorite based on a recipe by Cooks Illustrated. This is an old photo that needs to be changed, but the cake it fantastic. It's probably the best one on the list, tbh.

How did I miss the Key Lime with Margarita icing?!

my favorites are the first 3 bundts that you made. They look so good. I plan to make bundt cakes soon because I have a mold that I used to use for regular cakes before I really knew what a bundt cake was. I'm actually quite surprised that the cake turned out alright when what I used was actually regular cake mix.

These look and sound absolutely delicous! The applesauce cake and the Key Lime cake just might be taking a trip to the office...if they make it out of my house. LOL 😉 The Chardonnay cake sounds intriguing. I might make a "test cake" and see how I like it, because it sounds like it might be something a little different to offer at Thanksgiving or New Year's. Hmmm... 🙂

I used to be on The cake mix doctor forum years ago, but then I moved away from mixes. I made that never ending choc. cake and it was good. I just picked up a harvest bundt pan at Williams Sonoma. Its not like I need another pan, but it was on clearance for 9.99( from 34). Its a cornucopia. It has a recipe on it for a maple cake. I will probably make that for Thanksgiving.

Mary at http://foodlibrarian.blogspot.com/ will be so happy to see all these. She's done a bundt a day for the last 30 days leading up to today. I'm making my third right now.

The applesauce chocolate chip bundt cake is one of my all-time favorites. I recently tried making it a bit more fall by substituting canned pumpkin puree for the applesauce and changing the spices around to be a bit more like pumpkin pie spice (still kept the black pepper though!) and it worked like a dream.
