25 Nothing Bundt Cakes Flavors, Ranked Worst To Best

People either love carrot cake or they hate it. Even fans of this flavor agree that there's little room for error when it comes to making a carrot cake taste good. Nothing Bundt Cakes' version has all of the classic flavors we're looking for: cinnamon, nutmeg, and, of course, carrots. It even features pineapple chunks for added sweetness and texture. Unfortunately, the final product doesn't live up to the same hype as many of this company's other delicious cakes do.

Although this cake has a vegetable and a fruit inside, it is surprisingly dry considering those ingredients. "Let me tell you, it's hard to make a dry carrot cake because it's typically an oil-based cake and those suckers are moist almost by definition," wrote The Pastry's Chef Baking. "For an oil-based cake to become dry, you've either overbaked it or it's been refrigerated for too long. So my taste buds went, 'Meh.”" 

While the flavor is good, it's not as strong as we would like. The cream cheese frosting complements the cake really well, but we wish there was more to compensate for the lack of moisture in the rest of the dessert.

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake is the shop's only gluten-free item, but you wouldn't know it by tasting. It channels everything about the classic sweet treat, only without the allergens that would leave many consumers out of the experience. As The Food Allergy Mom writes, "The cake had a nice texture and was not crumbly. The icing gave it just the right touch of sweetness." And if you want to recreate the feel of cookies fresh out of the oven, you're in luck too, as "the cake tastes even better when warmed in the microwave for about 20 seconds." 

We commend Nothing Bundt Cakes' efforts towards inclusivity. However, we can't give this one a rave review. Despite its label, gluten-free dieters still have to be careful about consuming it. According to the bakery's Frequently Asked Questions, gluten-free goods are not prepared separate from the rest of the menu, meaning there's a possible chance of cross-contamination. While bloggers like Gluten Free Deliciously didn't experience any problems, many commenters on this article from the Gluten Intolerance Group of Northeast Ohio report becoming sick. This is disappointing, considering how hard finding good dietary substitutes can be. Kitchen conditions seem to vary by store, so unless you know exactly how it was prepared, we would avoid this one if you can't eat gluten. 

Most of Nothing Bundt Cakes' selections are really tasty, so we've already reached the point on this list where it becomes increasingly difficult to rank them. This vanilla cake isn't bad by any means. In fact, many customers are huge fans of the simple flavor. "Everyone has their favorite flavor," wrote one reviewer on TripAdvisor. "For my brother it's vanilla. He said he couldn't find a good, moist, delicious cake, so I took him to this location and he loved it. He's so picky and now he has his favorite cake anytime he wants it." 

So why do we rank this cake so low on our list? Although nothing is inherently wrong with vanilla, it's kind of boring. There are plenty of places to get a good vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting, so we don't feel like this version warrants a spot above any of the remaining flavors. It's also very sweet with no other spices or flavors for relief.

Here is another example of a Nothing Bundt Cakes offering that looks better than it tastes. Again, this cake isn't bad by any means. It is, however, a little disappointing. When we dig into a marble cake we want to taste an equal amount of the two flavors that make up the baked good. This cake is a mix of yellow cake and chocolate cake, but heavily favors the former. "I love marble, however as I dug into it there was only a small stripe of chocolate through it so I was disappointed," wrote one person on Yelp. "However the gold cake was very fluffy and delicious. I just wish there was more chocolate and less frosting." Another Yelper had a similar complaint, noting, "Strangely, this was 95% yellow cake and 5% chocolate cake. That doesn't make for a lot of marbling," 

If you can get past the lack of chocolate in this cake, it's pretty good. It's always moist and the cream cheese frosting compliments both flavors really well. With a more even marbling, this cake would get bumped up a few spots on our list.

Are cinnamon rolls breakfast or dessert? As Nothing Bundt Cakes proves, they can be both. This airy yellow cake features rich swirls of cinnamon and sugar and a thick dollop of cream cheese frosting to bring it together. It resembles the breakfast pastry in all its sticky, sugary glory, only it's socially acceptable to serve after dinner or at a party with friends.

Reviewers on Yelp couldn't get over how delicious the flavor was. "The cinnamon swirl was amazeballs, like a light and fluffy cinnamon bun," one person said. Others called it "perfectly moist" and "a great change from chocolate." The only possible complaint about this one is the lack of flavor from the cinnamon swirl, as it's definitely not as intense as in a real cinnamon bun. But in our opinion, the classic notes of sugar and spice, combined with its unique place in the Nothing Bundt Cakes flavor lineup, make this one worth having. Warm this up in the microwave and have it with a hot cup of coffee. You won't regret it.

White chocolate and fruit go hand-in-hand, so it's no wonder White Chocolate Blueberry knocks it out of the park. Composed of a white chocolate cake stuffed with blueberries, the luscious cake is further elevated by a generous layer of sweet icing. It's a big hit among fans of the bakery. One delighted Facebook commenter wrote, "I got it as a gift and it was the BEST cake I've had in a long time!!!" Another loved the fruity dessert so much, they stockpiled it in the freezer so they could experience it anytime they wanted. "Let's just say I never run out of these yummy cakes!" they gushed. 

While some found it too reminiscent of Blueberry Bliss (another fan fave), we can't fault Nothing Bundt Cakes for going all-in on this pairing. For one, it tastes exactly like blueberry muffins, which are always delicious. For two, the tartness marries well with the notes of sweet white chocolate.

This lemon cake is bright and refreshing which makes it perfect to pair with some fresh fruit or tea. The combination of the bright lemon with the zesty cream cheese creates a great bite that is a welcome break from the more decadent cake flavors. We're consistently surprised at how much lemon flavor is packed into this cake. Nothing Bundt Cakes finds a great balance between sweet and tart, creating a sort of lemonade flavor in the end. If you think lemon cake is boring, you're sleeping on a great dessert. "The cake wasn't dry at all and it had the perfect amount of sweetness," one happy reviewer wrote on Yelp. 

"I think I'm in love with the lemon bundt cake," admitted another. "So much so that I tried to recreate it ... and failed miserably. Guess I'll have to keep coming back here for my little addiction." Give this one a try the next time you stop by Nothing Bundt Cakes and you'll know what all the hype is about.

This is another one of Nothing Bundt Cakes' seasonal flavors that is a win in our book. The light vanilla cake is bursting with juicy blueberries and gets an additional punch of flavor from the signature frosting. It tastes reminiscent of a blueberry muffin, albeit a more rich and decadent one. "This is amazing! One of your best flavors yet!" one fan wrote on Facebook. "It should be against human nature to make something this delicious," another commented.

This cake is sometimes offered in the spring and is the perfect treat for a sunny afternoon. It also pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee in the morning. (It contains blueberries, so it's healthy, right?) Some reviewers have found the blueberry taste to be slightly artificial, but we think it's about as close to the real thing as a premade cake can be. We're sad that this flavor is only offered occasionally and we recommend running to the store the next time it's for sale.

This cake has a perfect balance of flavors. The white chocolate cake is rich and decadent but nicely balanced by swirls of bright raspberry puree. The cream cheese frosting on top adds another tangy layer of flavor that keeps this cake refreshing. It's a great pick if you want a rich cake but think flavors like chocolate and caramel are too decadent.

"White chocolate raspberry is our favorite! Delicious every time They do not disappoint!" wrote one fan on Yelp. Another raved, "The White chocolate raspberry is heaven! I've ordered it twice already. I'm just too scared other flavors won't live up to it." 

The raspberry puree tastes natural and not like the gooey artificial fruit filling you can expect from many bakeries. The entire cake is super moist and has just enough frosting to add an extra layer of flavor without overpowering the rest of the dessert. It's a fan favorite for a reason.

This seasonal flavor is offered in the fall and is a perfect autumn treat. The cake is full of zesty pumpkin flavor and has lots of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The cream cheese frosting on top adds the perfect addition of flavor to round out the entire dessert. "The pumpkin spice cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes is absolutely to die for," exclaimed Chat, Chew, Review. "Each bite of moist cake features a hearty pumpkin flavor with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The cream cheese frosting piped on top compliments the cake perfectly, adding a new layer of texture and sweetness. This cake provides the fall flavors that we all know and love."

If you're one of those people who wants to try every pumpkin-flavored item that comes out in October, keep your eyes peeled for this cake. It's the perfect addition to any pumpkin lover's must-try list.

A candy store staple, chocolate turtles contain chopped pecans, caramel, and a rich chocolate coating (via The Spruce Eats). It's an unbeatable trio of flavors, and Nothing Bundt Cakes' spin on the crunchy confection just exudes decadence. It's like a gooey, chocolatey brownie. Except unlike plain chocolate, this cake contains loads of texture from the candy and pecans. 

This Featured Flavor never fails to be a crowd-pleaser when it's available. "Please add permanently to your menu!! My new favorite!!!" one Facebook commenter raved. For another happy fan, the Chocolate Turtle flavor seems to take the cake for overall tastiness. "I LOVE this one and best of all no one else in my family does meaning I can have the entire thing and not have to share or worry about them taking any of mine."  The moistness of the cake itself, combined with the fillings and frosting, makes this a great indulgence during the winter months. Take it to the next level by heating it up in the microwave and scooping your favorite ice cream on top. It's a match made in dessert heaven.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip nails the peanut butter and chocolate combo. The moist peanut butter cake, combined with chocolate chips and the signature icing, meld seamlessly into a rich dessert that fans of both flavors will crave. It also has a homemade feel to it, like something your mom would bake for your birthday. Customers across the board seem to agree this flavor is one of Nothing Bundt Cakes' absolute best. "This one is a KEEPER" one Facebook commenter gushed, while another wrote "Why would you get rid of this delectable peanut butter flavor??? It is SO heavenly!!!"

Considering how many delicious recipes Nothing Bundt Cakes whips up, it's impressive how many people say this is their favorite. Heck, it's even good enough to serve at the most special of occasions. "You have to make this a permanent flavor," one Facebook commenter implored. "It's by far your best, and that's saying something since everything you make is great! Side note: I ordered this flavor for my wedding, and everyone loved it." It's surprising a flavor like this is limited-edition, but if Nothing Bundt Cakes is reading this, maybe they'll start offering it all the time. Take it from us and order it when it's in stock. It really is that good. 

One of Nothing Bundt Cakes' most popular flavors is their signature red velvet cake. The moist, decadent cake has plenty of cocoa flavor and was practically made for the cream cheese frosting on top. Each bite has the added bonus of chocolate chips packed inside. This is one of the best pre-made red velvet cakes money can buy, period.

According to one happy customer on TripAdvisor, "The cake itself was the best red velvet I've ever had, very moist with a few large chocolate chips sprinkled in and great chocolatey flavor, and the frosting had good cream cheese flavor, as opposed to the grainy, sugar frosting you often get. Loved it!" 

This cake leaves us wanting more with every bite, no matter how full we are. It's always available at Nothing Bundt Cakes and is appropriate for any birthday, family gathering, or party. For those reasons, this is our pick for Nothing Bundt Cakes' best flavor. If you don't believe us, head to your nearest Nothing Bundt Cakes location and try it yourself ASAP. You can thank us later.
