If you’ve ever tried your hand at making baklava at home, then you know what a process it is. Layers upon layers of delicate phyllo dough, lots of butter brushing, and a homemade nut filling– it’s not for the faint of heart. If you’re craving that sweet and nutty flavor, but aren’t up for undertaking the real deal then this Baklava Bundt Cake recipe is just the thing!
While this recipe does require a few different steps, don’t be intimidated, they’re all easy! You’ll start out by mixing together a simple pistachio and walnut filling. This gets spread along the bottom of the bundt pan so it will be on top once it’s inverted. Next up is the cake batter. We’ve taken the easy route with a boxed white cake mix, but switched in the oil for butter and water for milk. This gives the cake a deliciously rich texture.
As the cake bakes you’ll prepare a simple honey sauce on the stove top. Allow time for the sauce to cool and thicken before drizzling it onto the cake for the best results. The final cake is nothing short of stunning so make sure to snap a pic before everyone digs in. If you’re looking for a new show-stopping recipe, you’ve found it!
