Nothing Bundt Cake Icing Recipe: 3 Simple Steps to Sweet Perfection

If you’ve ever tasted the luscious, melt-in-your-mouth icing on a Nothing Bundt Cake, you know it’s not just frosting—it’s a creamy, rich, and absolutely irresistible experience. With its velvety texture and a subtle tang from cream cheese, this icing is the crown jewel of every bundt cake it graces. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the bakery or tasting it for the first time, this Nothing Bundt Cake icing recipe brings that iconic flavor straight into your kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 12 tbsp milk or heavy cream (optional for consistency)

Instructions

Step 1: Beat the Cream Cheese and Butter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy—about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2: Add Powdered Sugar
Gradually add in the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time. Continue beating until the sugar is fully incorporated and the icing becomes thick. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything mixes evenly.

Step 3: Add Vanilla and Adjust Consistency
Add the vanilla extract and beat again. If your icing is too thick to pipe, add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Beat for another 1-2 minutes until it’s light and fluffy.

That’s it! Pipe or spoon the icing over your favorite bundt cake in thick, bakery-style stripes.
