Citrus Raspberry Bundt
A gorgeous Citrus Bundt with a little raspberry surprise inside! This moist and delicious simple bundt cake can be enjoyed at any time. Want more raspberry flavor? Then serve this with our gorgeous raspberry sauce too!
We have for you today #BundtBakers and I have a delicious Citrus Raspberry Bundt! Woohoo, love making bundts like this amazing Glazed Pistachio Bundt Cake.
I had some really great success with bundts when I first started off. Never did a cake stick or a filling sink. I think I have become more daring with recipes and with that trouble can arise. I had to make this cake twice and still the middle sunk, which of course with a bundt it is then at the top of your cake.
The theme this month is “Hidden Surprise” or filled bundt cakes hosted by Anshie from Spice Roots.
Does it really matter that the yummy raspberry is at the top, well no, it is still a surprise!! Even more so for me when I was hoping it was in the center, LOL.
It was still a very delicious cake and pretty I would say. No complaints from my cleaning ladies who adore my bundts and look forward to my next creation. I am happy to bake for them and anyone else who enjoys them.
It is so satisfying when that bundt just falls right out of the pan. I now brush my pan with butter and then dust with flour, always bang out the excess.
I have made a couple of lemon bundts now but this time I liked the added lime and orange flavors in the cake. Then the pretty little raspberry jam shines out too with the citrus.

#BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme.
Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on the BundtBakers home page.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. The theme for April is “Hidden Surprise” – Bundt cakes with fillings or stuffing. There was no constraint on filling and flavor choices.The only
requirement was that the cake be filled/stuffed inside. Anshie from SpiceRoots was our host for this month.

It’s a raspberry rainbow and there’s nothing wrong with that! I’d love a slice, Tara!
Tara Noland says
Thanks so much Stacy!
Renee Dobbs says
Lovely bundt Tara and perfect flavors for spring.

Thanks so much Renee!
Tux | Brooklyn Homemaker says
Wow, your cake looks amazing. The combination of citrus cake and raspberry jam sounds so perfectly satisfying and homey- just what I want in a bundt cake. The crumb looks so moist too.
I use the same method to make sure my cakes don’t stick. I always use a pastry brush to make sure I get into every inch of my pans with softened butter.
Tara Noland says
Thank you so much Tux!
Ansh says
Ha ha! This time, the pesky fillings would not go where we wanted them to go in the cake! But I quite like the raspberry jam near the top. Great flavors for spring and summer. Thank you for participating.
Tara Noland says
Thank you so much for hosting, so glad you liked the bundt!

I don’t mind a big slice of this bundt cake, Tara. This absolutely looks beautiful and the texture is so lovely.
Kecia says
Tara this bundt is just gorgeous! I love the filling and I think it is just perfect at the top!
Wendy, A Day in the Life on the Farm says
Great minds Tara….I did a lemon raspberry also and, yep, my raspberry filling is at the top too LOL
Carole from Carole's Chatter says
Hi Tara, I do hope you’ll come over to Food on Friday: Lemons & Limes to bring this to the party! Cheers from Carole’s Chatter
Terri Oliver Steffes says
That flavor profile is so good! I love your photos, too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Olivia @ livforcake says
This cake is calling my name! So delicious and the photos are amazing. I think a lot of us had troubles with stuff sinking to the bottom. No matter, it looks like it was intentional and it looks great! And I agree about the satisfaction when the bundt slips right out of the pan. It’s a moment.
Patricia Blanco Budia says

un Mordisco Un Pecado says
Reading your ingredients I know that your recipe must to be incredible… Great choice!!!
Margaret says
I LOVE jam in cake. And citrus cake is so refreshing. Cute little swirl!!
Bakingyummies says
I’ve had the same experience Tara. My strawberry jam filling was on the bottom of the cake rather than in the middle but then as you rightly mentioned who cares unless it tastes great.
Lauren @ Sew You Think You Can Cook says
When I first started with the group I had great success with turning out my cakes, but these past few months have been doozies! Maybe confidence with cake is a bad thing? ha.
You bundt is beautiful – I love the subtle jam running through it.
Laura@ Baking in Pyjamas says
All that citrus Tara sounds absolutely divine and with a jam filling, wonderful!
Elizabeth Vlug says
Just made this for Mothers Day tomorrow. Smells divine. Can hardly wait to slice into it. And it came out of the pan beautifully.
Tara Noland says
Awesome, hope you love it. A great bundt is always wonderful. Thanks Elizabeth!
Elizabeth Vlug says
Oh my. This cake was delicious and the hit of the afternoon. Not too sweet either. Tender and tasty. Will be making this one again and again.
Tara Noland says
Awesome to hear, so glad you liked it!!
