Description

A golden fusion of flavors—Baklava Bundt Cake combines the nutty, spiced essence of traditional baklava with the rich, moist texture of a buttery Bundt cake. Infused with honey syrup and aromatic spices, it’s an irresistible dessert with Middle Eastern flair.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Nut Filling:

  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

For the Honey Syrup:

  • 1/2 cup honey

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp orange blossom water (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat and prep pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly.

  • Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  • Cream butter and sugar: Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Add vanilla and yogurt/sour cream and mix until smooth.

  • Combine cake batter: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing just until combined.

  • Prepare nut filling: Combine walnuts, pistachios, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.

  • Assemble cake: Pour half the batter into the Bundt pan. Sprinkle evenly with nut filling. Top with remaining batter and smooth surface.

  • Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a rack.

  • Make honey syrup: In a saucepan, combine honey, water, sugar, lemon juice, and orange blossom water. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.

  • Drizzle and serve: While cake is still warm, slowly pour syrup over it. Let soak in before serving.

Notes

  • Use orange blossom water for authentic Middle Eastern flavor, or omit if preferred.

  • Let the syrup soak in slowly by pouring in intervals.

  • Can be made a day ahead—flavors deepen overnight.
