Snickerdoodle Cream Bundt Cake

Snickerdoodle cookies are an all-time holiday favorite in our house. The only trouble is that they are eaten up so quickly and they aren’t great for feeding a crowd. When it comes to having guests over I really prefer something slightly more festive, which is where this Snickerdoodle Cream Bundt Cake comes into play.
The beauty of this cake is that it is incredibly easy to make and serves a crowd. It also tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie! Honestly, I adore it for many reasons, but my guests really love the creamy texture and cinnamon-sugar flavor. They always ask for the recipe!
Like any classic Bundt cake this one is fairly simple to make. When I make the batter I always use Hood Cream. It blends beautifully and has a lovely, rich flavor. Hood Cream is a high-quality ingredient I can trust to provide the creamy and thick texture you look for in a snickerdoodle cookie. It really takes this recipe to the next level and your guests will love it!
A rich creamy flavor and thick texture is one of the hallmarks of the Snickerdoodle cookie, and the Hood Cream really delivers on that when I bake it.
Since the cake takes over an hour to bake I typically make it up to a day in advance and store it in a sealed container. Then I do the simple glaze and cinnamon-sugar topping at the very end so it’s nice and fresh. I typically serve it as is, but a lot of people like it with ice cream or whipped cream. It really is up to you!
We hope you are adore this holiday dessert as much as we do! Happy holidays!
