Carrot bundt cake fresh out of the oven

Bundt cakes can be tricky because of their long bake time. You want to make sure it’s done all the way through, but you also don’t want to overbake it or the cake will be dry. You can insert a toothpick into the center and check for just a few moist crumbs. Or, for even more accuracy use an instant read thermometer and pull the cake out of the oven when it reaches 190-200°F.

I usually start checking for doneness about 5-10 minutes before the recipe bake time is up, since ovens and baking times will vary.
