Gluten Free Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze

Every slice of this Bundt cake delivers that classic cinnamon-scented crumb — tender, rich, and dense enough to hold its own against a generous drizzle of glaze. Butter and sugar get whipped until pale and fluffy, then eggs and vanilla work in one at a time for a batter that bakes up soft with a fine, even texture. Sour cream keeps the crumb moist and gives the cake its signature tang, while a deep 12-cup Bundt pan shapes those gorgeous ridges everyone loves slicing into. The glaze itself is straightforward and dreamy: cream cheese beaten smooth with powdered sugar and a touch of vanilla, thinned just enough to cascade down the sides in glossy ribbons. This is a genuinely solid pick for a gluten free dessert table, whether you're serving it for a holiday gathering or just want a make-ahead cake that looks as impressive as it tastes. Let it cool completely before glazing so those ribbons set up perfectly rather than pooling at the base.

Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.

½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream, room temperature

For the cream cheese glaze

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
3–4 tbsp whole milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with softened butter or nonstick spray, then dust with flour, tapping out any excess. Set aside.
