Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously coat a Bundt pan with baking spray, making sure to get into all the grooves.
Step 2: Add the French vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer for approximately 2 minutes, until smooth.
Step 3: Gently fold the frozen mixed berries into the batter using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Step 4: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out without wet batter.
Step 5: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
Step 6: Transfer to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
🍋 Simply Made Suggestions
- Tip for Easy Removal: Place a cake stand or plate over the Bundt pan, hold them together, and carefully flip. Gently tap the pan to help release the cake. If it’s sticking, carefully run a thin knife around the edges before flipping.
- Frozen berries: Add them directly to the batter without thawing, if using the tested method.
- Cake mix substitutions: Use white or yellow cake mix with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract instead of French vanilla cake mix.
- Prevent sticking: Generously coat the Bundt pan, including the center tube and all the grooves.
- Serving: Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
