- Nothing Bundt Cake White Chocolate Raspberry Copycat Recipe
You will love this white chocolate raspberry bundt cake.
It’s simple to make. Seriously, so simple! This recipe calls for box cake mix and instant pudding mix so you don’t have to measure much, like this orange lemon cake.
It tastes like the real thing! If you love this Nothing Bundt Cakes flavor as much as I do, you’ll love this copycat recipe.
It’s perfect for all special occasions. A birthday cake, a baby shower, bridal shower, Mother's Day, any day that ends in "y"... this bundt cake recipe is one of the best.
Why is nothing bundt cakes so moist?
Because of the shape of a bundt cake pan, more of the cake is exposed to high baking temperatures. Therefore, the bundt cake mix itself is thicker and moister to ensure a high-quality cake, leaving you with an incredibly rich bundt cake.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
White Cake Mix. You can find white cake mix in the baking aisle of your grocery store, but don't get it confused with yellow cake mix! I suggest using white.
White Chocolate Pudding Mix. The instant pudding mix helps to make the cake batter thicker, so you're guaranteed to get a delicious cake every time.
White Chocolate Chips. You'll fold these into the mix, they add the best bit of creamy morsel in the middle of the cake.
Wet Ingredients
Sour Cream. Yes, sour cream! This is also essential for a moist cake. I do not recommend substituting greek yogurt for sour cream in this recipe.
Eggs. You'll want to ensure that your eggs are brought down to room temperature for the best results.
Milk. You can use whatever milk you have on hand, I used 2% cow's milk.
Vegetable Oil. I highly recommend using the recommended oil and not substituting it with melted butter. The oil vs the butter will completely change the way the cake bakes.
Vanilla Extract. You'll only need to use a little bit of vanilla extract just to amplify all the flavors and bring the cake together.
Raspberry Filling. This could be seedless raspberry jam, raspberry preserves or raspberry pie filling.
Fresh Red Raspberries. You'll give these a rough chop and fold them into the cake. The fresh raspberries mixed with the raspberry filling is so delicious.
How to make Nothing Bundt Cakes White Chocolate Raspberry
Here are the step-by-step instructions for the best results!
- Using nonstick cooking spray and a tablespoon of flour prepare the bundt cake pan. Preheat your oven to 350F and set your prepared bundt pan to the side.
- In a large bowl, whisk together your cake mix and pudding mix.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer (with the paddle attachment), mix the sour cream, eggs, milk, and vanilla using medium speed.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries.
- Pour half of the batter into the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in your red raspberry filling and using a toothpick, lightly mix the preserves into the cake. This will give you that delicious raspberry swirl.
- Pour the rest of the batter into the pan.
- Bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes, or until you can stick a knife into the cake and it comes out clean... aka it passes the knife test.
- Let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
- Let the cake cool for an additional 15 minutes outside of the cake pan.
- In the meantime, make your frosting by whipping together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and frosting.
- Add your frosting to a ziplock bag, cut a hole in one of the corners to make a piping bag and pipe the frosting onto the cake.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
TIP: If you have time and want to have this white chocolate bundt cake taste even more like the real thing, once the whole cake is cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge overnight, then frost it and serve!
Nothing Bundt Cakes Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Here’s what you’ll need for the frosting…
Cream Cheese. Make sure that the cream cheese is softened, you can use full-fat or low-fat cream cheese.
Butter. Similar to the cream cheese, make sure the butter is softened. I always prefer to use salted butter, but you can always use unsalted butter if that's your preference.
Powdered Sugar. If you don't have any powdered sugar, you can technically make your own. I always recommend just using the store-bought powdered sugar.
Vanilla. Just a splash of vanilla extract to give it a bit more flavor.
- Beat together your cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Add in your vanilla and mix.
- Slowly, using low speed, add in your powdered sugar.
- Keep mixing until you have a thick, smooth consistency.
Tips for making the best bundt cakes
Grease and flour your pan. This will truly make sure that your cake doesn't to the pan when you're trying to wiggle it out after it's done baking. In my opinion, it is the best way to prepare the pan.
Avoid air bubbles. To do this, lay a towel on your counter and gently tap your filled cake pan about 10 times. This should bring all the air bubbles to the top.
Use a simple pan. When baking with fruit, the sugar content of the cake is naturally higher. With a higher sugar content comes with a higher possibility of sticking, avoid using fancy bundt cake pans and stick for more simple ones to not have this issue.
FAQ
Do you need to let a bundt cake cool before flipping?
Yes, allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
What is the trick to getting a cake out of a bundt pan?
A well-greased and flour pan is essential. Make sure you are flipping the bundt cake pan onto a flat surface. Gently tap and shake until your cake is released from the pan.
Does this bundt cake have to be stored in the fridge?
I recommend erring on the side of caution since the frosting is made with dairy to store the cake in the fridge.

Of course, you’ll need a bundt cake pan if you don’t already have one.
You’ll need a cake stand, I love this wooden one with a glass dome or this white porcelain one.

Can you fold the pie filling in cake mix and just pour it in pan and bake it
Katie Kelly says
You could! I personally have never made this recipe like that.
Sierra says
Hi! I don’t see in the instructions when to add the oil in. I’m assuming it’s with the rest of the wet ingredients so that’s what I’m doing now, but wanted to let you know 🙂
Katie Kelly says
Oh my gosh!! The recipe has been updated, I'm so sorry about that!
