Ingredients & Tools You'll Need

For this Stuffed Pizza Bundt Cake, you'll need some pretty straightforward ingredients. Grab two thin pizza crusts, half a cup of pepperoni, two cups of mozzarella cheese, a half cup of pizza sauce, one pound of cooked Italian sausage, and a teaspoon of olive oil. I go heavy on the cheese here because who doesn't love a good cheese pull?

You'll also want a bundt pan for this recipe. It’s key to getting that beautiful shape. If you don't have one, don’t sweat it; a regular cake pan can work in a pinch, but the bundt pan makes the presentation extra special.

And don’t forget to have some non-stick cooking spray on hand to make sure everything releases easily once it’s cooked.

How To Make It

Alright, let’s get cooking! This Stuffed Pizza Bundt Cake might look fancy, but it’s super easy to put together. The key is to have everything prepped before you start.

This way, you can focus on assembling your cheesy masterpiece without any hiccups.

Preparation

First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F. While that's warming up, spray your bundt pan generously with non-stick cooking spray. You don’t want your pizza to stick, and trust me, you’ll be glad you did this step.

Next, sprinkle the bottom of the pan with the pepperoni. This is where the flavor begins! After that, add half of your mozzarella cheese right on top.

Now, take one of the pizza crusts and place it over the cheese and pepperoni. Here’s the trick: tear a hole in the middle to fit snugly into the bundt pan. This will create a nice cavity for all the delicious filling.

Go ahead and spread the pizza sauce and cooked sausage evenly inside, then top it off with the rest of the cheese. Finally, place the second pizza crust on top and press down firmly to seal everything in. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top crust to give it a nice golden color as it cooks.

Cooking

Now it's time to bake! Pop that bundt pan into the oven and let it work its magic for about 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it – you want the crust to be golden brown and crispy.

You'll know it’s done when the kitchen fills with that heavenly smell of baked pizza. The edges should be crisp with a soft, chewy interior.

When it’s ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This is important because it allows the cheese to set a bit, making it easier to turn out of the pan. Once it's cooled, carefully flip it over onto a serving plate.

You should see that beautiful bundt shape, and as you slice into it, that gooey cheese will stretch and ooze. It's a sight to behold!

Serving & Variations

Now that your Stuffed Pizza Bundt Cake is ready, let’s talk about serving it up. It’s fantastic on its own, but you can also pair it with a simple side salad or some garlic bread for a real feast. Looking to mix things up?

Try swapping out the pepperoni for veggies like bell peppers and mushrooms, or even throw in some cooked bacon for an extra twist.

A common consensus among home cooks is: the leftovers (if there are any) make for a killer breakfast the next day. Just pop a slice in the microwave for a quick reheat, and you’re good to go. You can also freeze any leftover slices for a quick meal later on.
