I saw these cute cakes at a local grocery store and decided to make my own version at home. They’re a hit at any fall gathering. —Jennifer Dorff, Waukesha, Wisconsin


Test Kitchen Tips
  • This cake is scrumptious and perfectly seasonal, but if you're in a pinch or digging a different flavor, plain box cake works with this technique, too!
  • Our trick for bundt cakes that release seamlessly? We use a pastry brush to apply a paper-thin layer of melted shortening—making sure to reach every nook and cranny—then we flour the cake pan and hit it with a fine mist of cooking spray.
