Your favorite breakfast transformed into a light and fluffy sliceable Bundt cake! This pancake Bundt is soaked in a simple maple syrup when still warm and then drizzled with a brown sugar maple glaze when ready to serve. The combination is incredible, baked in our beautiful Jubilee Bundt design. Easily slice and share with family and friends for weekend brunch. This recipe was created by Bake From Scratch magazine as part of the Bundt of the Month recipe collection.
In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons (16 grams) flour and 2 tablespoons (28 grams) melted butter until well combined. Using a pastry brush, spread flour mixture all over inside of a 10-cup Bundt pan*, being sure to evenly get into grooves.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and remaining 3 cups (375 grams) flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together cream, 1 cup (240 grams) water, eggs, and vanilla bean paste; whisk in remaining 6 tablespoons (84 grams) melted butter. Add cream mixture to sugar mixture; whisk just until combined and no large flour pockets remain. (Mixture will still be lumpy; do not overmix.) Pour batter into prepared pan. Firmly tap pan on a kitchen towel-lined counter several times to settle batter and release any air bubbles.
Bake until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean and an instant-read thermometer inserted near center registers 200°F (93°C), 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto a wire rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet.
Generously brush Maple Simple Syrup all over still-warm cake until all of mixture is used up. Let cake cool for 20 minutes.
Maple Simple Syrup:
In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together maple syrup, granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water until well combined. Heat on high in 10- to 20-second intervals, whisking between each, until sugar dissolves. Whisk in maple extract. Makes about 1/3 cup
Brown Sugar Maple Glaze:
In a small saucepan, stir together brown sugar, butter, cream, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in maple extract and vanilla bean paste. Use immediately. Makes about 3/4 cup.
Spoon Brown Sugar-Maple Glaze into a heatproof squeeze bottle with a ¼-inch opening in tip. Using a kitchen glove or towel to hold bottle if it feels too warm, carefully pipe glaze into and over grooves of cake as desired. (Alternatively, use a spoon to drizzle glaze.) Serve warm with any extra glaze.
Notes:
If glaze starts to get too cool and thick, place in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until desired consistency is reached
This worked beautifully!!!!! The slices really did taste like absolutely delicious pancakes!!! I wish I had the baking skills to sub buttermilk for heavy cream while keeping the fat ratios and leavening right because the moisture and texture are amazing, I just like the flavor of buttermilk pancakes. This recipe helped me figure out a quicker (hands-on) way to make pancakes for a small crowd and using 2 bundt pans to make 2 at once and people can serve themselves is the solution! I did use the maple simple syrup I did NOT use the glaze as I have a homemade syrup we love.

This is a question – not a review: What would the baking time be for the mini bundt pan (the one with 6 mini bundts in one pan)? Thanks!
So very good!! Genuinely nails the pancake interior texture and the slightly crispy exterior is DIVINE. The maple brown sugar glaze is perfect drizzled over a slice or in coffee. Definitely a fun treat.
