I'll let you in on a little secret: cake or pie for breakfast isn’t an occasional splurge in our house, it’s kind of a tradition. Before you gasp and clutch your pearls, think about it: is it really any different than pancakes dripping in syrup, butter and powdered sugar? Or a cinnamon roll slathered in icing? Most of the time, our “breakfasts” are just desserts with better PR, after all.But if you’re someone who can’t quite stomach the idea of actual sheet cake before 9 a.m., there’s a perfect middle ground, and it comes courtesy of chef and food content creator Annika Panikker (@annikapanikker). Her Pancake Batter Bundt Cake is a genius way to make your usual pancake routine feel special, and just a little indulgent.It’s sweet enough to feel like a treat, but still firmly rooted in breakfast. It delivers the coziness of a stack of pancakes, plus the excitement of a homemade cake.Related: The Japanese Way to Make Boxed Pancake Mix 10x Better

The real trick here is simple but smart. Just bake your pancake batter in a Bundt pan. It transforms a casual breakfast into something special, whether you’re feeding a crowd or just trying to impress your kids on a Saturday morning.Annika’s full recipe is on her site, but you can use your favorite pancake batter if you prefer. The important part is the how, not the what.This method also eliminates the need to stand over a hot griddle flipping batch after batch. You mix, pour and bake, and you end up with a golden, tender cake that slices beautifully.
It’s also endlessly customizable because you can top it however you like. Make it pretty with some whipped cream, berries, honey, maple syrup and even a dusting of cinnamon sugar.Related: A Faster, Easier, No-Fail Version of the Viral Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
The Pancake Bundt Cake Recipe
For Annika’s base recipe, you need all-purpose flour, corn flour, castor sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, melted butter, eggs, heavy cream, water, vinegar and vanilla extract. Note: The vinegar helps activate the baking soda for extra fluffiness, similar to buttermilk in traditional pancake recipes, so don't skip this.??

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a Bundt tin (or cake pan). Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, cream, water, vinegar and vanilla.Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Don’t overmix! Treat this like pancake batter, not cake.Pour the batter into the greased Bundt tin and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly, slice and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
This genius pancake cooking hack turns a basic breakfast into something truly celebration-worthy, without crossing the line into full-on dessert. It’s a smart way to elevate your morning routine with minimal effort, keeping things fun and festive.
Even better, you don’t have to break your “no cake for breakfast” rule to enjoy it. It’s still pancakes, but they have been upgraded with a touch of flair and creativity.
