Steps to Make Gugelhupf Cake Recipe

Humdinger Cake

This classic gugelhupf is packed with raisin and almond.

Recipe Summary Humdinger Cake

Very much like the hummingbird cakes, this recipe starts with a Betty Crocker® cake mix for a quick and easy, moist, and tasty dessert. Garnish with pecan halves or coconut.

Ingredients | Gugelhupf Cake Recipe

½ cup butter, softened

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Betty Crocker®)

3 eggs

½ cup water

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice

2 large very ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup chopped pecans (Optional)

1 cup shredded coconut (Optional)

1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add cake mix, eggs, and water; mix until batter is just combined. Stir pineapple and bananas into batter. Fold pecans and coconut into batter; pour into the prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool cake in the dish for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Spread cream cheese frosting over cooled cake.

I baked the cake in a round 12-inch pan and iced the sides as well as the top. Can also bake in two layers, if desired.
