Jelly Doughnut Bundt Cake
This Jelly Doughnut Bundt Cake tastes just like a giant jelly doughnut! It’s a fun and sweet treat for any occasion.
My husband and son planned a father/son camp out for this past weekend, and I’m telling you, I couldn’t have been more excited. I was seriously counting down the days.
To some husbands this might be signs of an affair, but my husband knows that the last thing I need is another person all up in my space. I’m all, “stay gone as long as you need, okay?” and he’s like, “you’re already planning what to clean, aren’t you??”.
I don’t know why, but I get super excited to do weird cleaning when my husband is gone. I’ll do the linen closet at like midnight. In my normal life I’m in bed at 10:30 but in my husband is gone life, I don’t live by any rules. I organize my spice rack before breakfast, Gilmore Girls plays in a constant loop in the background, and I only eat foods laden with grease than I most certainly did NOT prepare myself.
It’s like I turn into a combination of a teenager and an extremely organized woman who has her crap entirely together all at the same time.
My husband is always reminding me that he doesn’t have to be gone for me to do this type of weirdo cleaning/organizing, but for some reason I feel like he does. It’s like I convince myself that my family is holding me back from basically being Martha Stewart, and this excuse allows me to be a normal semi-lazy person 9/10ths of the year. Then the boys get home from camping to a house with a clean OVEN (A CLEAN OVEN, PEOPLE), deodorized and vacuumed carpet, organized spices and neatly folded rows of towels and I’m like DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, I HAD IT ALL JUST RIGHT.
Good grief. It’s like they think they live here.
Let’s talk about this Jelly Doughnut Bundt Cake because good night, it’s a giant JELLY DOUGHNUT!! (donut? doughnut? I don’t know)
I love jelly doughnuts so so much. My boys do not like them, which is another weird thing about them, besides the fact that they sleep outside voluntarily without even being paid money or free candy bars. But that’s fine, more for me.
Also, Lucy likes jelly doughnuts, so you can see who the genius is around here.
This cake is honestly pretty amazeface. And it’s adorable too, so there you go. Do it!!
Ingredients
- Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- Small box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup seedless raspberry jelly (or cherry -- any flavor will work)
- Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 6 Tablespoons warm water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray bundt pan with vegetable oil spray, then lightly coat with flour. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your mixer, combine cake ingredients. Beat on low speed until just combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then beat for 3 minutes, until thick and smooth. Pour batter in to bundt pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, until cake is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully turn onto a wire rack to continue cooling.
- Once cake is completely cool, split in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Use a spoon to make a well in the center of the bottom half of the cake, about an inch wide and half an inch deep. The well should go in a circle in the middle of bottom half. (this is to hold the jelly)
- Fill the well with jelly so that it is level with the cake. Top with top half of cake.
- Mix glaze ingredients with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over cake, spreading to cover. Top with sprinkles.
If you are a jelly doughnut lover (not literally a lover, just that you feel fondly for them — I feel that I need to clarify, otherwise there will be emails) you might also love these Jelly Doughnut Muffins.
Enjoy and have a great day!

jelly doughnuts were always my fave as a kid so I definitely need to try this!!
Ooooooohhhhh yum. And with lemon curd….holy yum.
This sounds so good! Glad you got in a good clean this past weekend :-)!
This may honestly be the yummiest looking bundt cake i’ve seen!
Hi Kristan- This looks fun! If you get a quick minute would you link this recipe to Friday Favorites. going on live until tomorrow afternoon! laura
This is so cool! I just love it! Love the gorgeous jam hidden inside, such a brilliant idea!
You are my kindred spirit! I get unnecessarily excited when my husband away for a few hours and I’m home by myself! Gilmore Girls is a MUST and cleaning gets done as well.
I am so glad I read this post! I have always felt like a total FREAK because the minute my husband and son start talking about an out of town trip I get so excited I even offer to pay for it! And then what do I do the entire time they are gone???? Shopping? NO!Dinner with friends? NO! Reading? NO! I CLEAN LIKE A MAD WOMAN!!!!! And I love every second of it!!! :-D
Oh.my.gosh. Is this for real?! Jelly doughnut + bundt cake? Yum! I’m saving this for next month’s party. Guests are definitely going to LOVE this one (hell, I might just devour that cake alone hehe…) Thank you for sharing. It looks amazing ^^ P.S: I share you “weird” cleaning habits XD
I get the best organizing (and Gilmore Girl/90210 binge watching) done when my husband takes our daughter. It’s a feaky weird woman thing I think, because when I leave him alone I just come home to a huge mess. I love that you put the jelly in the cake! Super cute!
I just remembered how much i like jelly doughnuts. This cake is da bomb! And bundt… always makes me think of my big fat greek wedding. hehehe. I have lots of time alone when my kids are with their father. Friday night I clean window seals at 10:00 p.m!!
jelly doughnuts are probably my most favorite food ever! and I LOVE that you made that into a cake – brilliant and beautfiul
I used to (probably before kids…or maybe before kids were self-sufficient) hate when my husband had to travel for work. Now, I’m like, “So, can you plan another business trip?” I love my husband, but I also love it when he has to leave for a couple of days. ;oP All schedule and structure is thrown out the window, and we can have cereal for dinner if we want. I feel like it’s my duty to keep my husband fed well, but my boys? Eh. Cereal for dinner is fine. ;o) BUT, I DO stay up way too late when he’s not home.
Angry e-mails about being a donut “lover”? People are dumb. ;oP
I so know what you mean about when the hubby is gone. Mine goes to WY a lot for work (he leaves tomorrow, actually) and I am sad but then the same thing happens as you described. I do a massive cleaning and get to watch all my shows whenever without dumb football interfering. This Jelly Doughnut cake looks adorable and delish!
This is so fun! Love!
tastes like a giant donut?! I need this in my life.
I totally love cleaning at weird times too. Whenever the OCD or mood strikes me! In fact, I want to clean and stuff my face with this cake right now!
Who doesn’t need a giant donut! My problem is I never have urges to clean the linen closet :)

Can this be made without the sour cream? Lactose intolerant and I can’t do sour cream
Omg this cake! I started preparing the package cake directions and realized by doing that I wasn’t following these directions but it was too late to turn back. I added the extra ingredients minus one egg and was fearful of how it would turn out but it was amazing!!!!!!! So moist and delicious it honestly didn’t even need the glaze it was so good. I cannot say enough good thing! Thank you for this awesome recipe from a major jelly donut freak :)
What are the directions to make. Only ingredients showing
Why can’t you bake it with the jelly in it? Used to make jelly filled muffins that way.
I’m am making this for my sons first communion this weekend. But was wondering about the vanilla pudding. Do u add the pudding powder to the cake mix? Or is the prepared pudding part of the filling?
Thanks!
Hey there! You add it to the cake mix :)
Thanks!!!!!
What size of cake mix do you use? I know the sizes have shrunk in the last few years.
I went ahead and based it on the old cake mix size–18.25 ounces. The cake turned out to be very, very sweet, but unfortunately it didn’t look anything like the photo! The glaze was so thin that it ran all over the plate. I kept adding more powdered sugar, but it was still thin. Once the cake was cut and put back together, the cut line was very visible. I was hoping this recipe would be something I could make for other people, but although the taste was pretty good, I wouldn’t make it for someone else because of the appearance.
