Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- Baking spray (containing flour) or grease and flour for bundt pan
For the Filling
- 1 cup Pillsbury Fluffy Frost Vanilla Marshmallow Frosting (or homemade marshmallow frosting, see notes)
For Decoration
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF to prepare for baking the cake.
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a mixer on medium speed, blend together the yellow cake mix, eggs, water, and cooking oil until just slightly lumpy to ensure a tender crumb.
- Prepare Bundt Pan: Spray the bundt pan with baking spray that contains flour or grease it thoroughly and sprinkle lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. The cake is done when the top begins to firm up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Completely: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan to ensure the cake holds its shape.
- Create Filling Holes: Once cooled, still in the pan, poke holes in the cake almost to the bottom (top of cake) using a finger, moving side to side to widen the cavity. Space holes about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Fill with Frosting: Fill a sandwich bag with the marshmallow frosting, cut a small corner tip creating a pea-sized hole, and pipe the frosting into each hole deeply to fill the cavities.
- Remove from Pan: Gently separate the cake edges from the bundt pan using a rubber spatula or butter knife. Place a flat plate or cake stand upside down over the pan and invert to release the cake. Lift the pan away slowly and evenly to keep the cake intact.
- Decorate: Sprinkle powdered sugar on top to add a festive touch to the cake before serving.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can make your own marshmallow frosting instead of using store-bought.
- Ensure the cake is fully cooled before poking filling holes to prevent breaking or crumbling.
- Use baking spray containing flour for best non-stick results in the bundt pan.
- Powdered sugar topping is optional but enhances the cake’s visual appeal.
