How to Make Baklava Bundt Cake

  1. Prepare the nut mixture: Toss chopped nuts with cinnamon and a bit of sugar or honey to coat.
  2. Make the batter: Mix the cake ingredients—flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, and spices—until smooth and creamy.
  3. Layer the cake: Pour a portion of the batter into a greased bundt pan, sprinkle a layer of nut mixture, then add more batter and nuts in layers.
  4. Bake: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Add syrup: While warm, drizzle honey or syrup over the cake to soak in that iconic baklava sweetness.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool before unmolding and slicing.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or chopped nuts on top.
  • Pair with strong coffee, black tea, or a sweet dessert wine.
