Air bubbles in Bundt cakes! Help! I get these air bubbles in my mink Bundt cakes! I’ve experimented with different leavings agents and different amounts of leavening. Tried not to overbeat the flour mixture. I just don’t know why this is?? Help! I also use a convection oven. Any suggestions?? Thanks all!

The air bubbles may arise because of the way the dough settles as we pour it into the pan.

One way to minimise bubbles is to take a butter knife or fork and go through the dough after it's in the pan, before baking, to settle the dough in and remove air. A second way is to bang the pan on a flat surface before baking - this is also meant to settle the dough into the pan and take out air bubbles.

Air bubbles in Bundt cakes can often be caused by overmixing the batter, so try mixing just until combined. Also, ensure the batter is at room temperature before baking, and make sure your Bundt pan is well-greased. After pouring the batter, gently tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped air. Lastly, double-check the freshness of your leavening agents and confirm your convection oven’s temperature is accurate.
