#BundtBakers is a group of bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bundt cakes with a common ingredient or theme.
Except that this month, Colleen of Faith, Hope, Love & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice is breaking that mold and challenging us to think outside of the bundt pan. To bake something in our favorite cake pan that isn’t cake!
I didn’t know if I was going to sign up for this one given my summer blogging break but one of my best friends from college shared a Facebook video with me. Her timing couldn’t have been more perfect! The video was for a fajita bundt cake. Yes. Fajitas. In a bundt. It looked so fun, we just had to try it!
Picture your bundt cake. But instead of a rich cake center, imagine fajita seasoned chicken and veggies. Instead of a cake crust to cut through, imagine tortillas. And instead of frosting and sprinkles, imagine sour cream and cilantro.
The dinner was so fun and would definitely be a show stopper for company.
Chicken Fajita Bundt Cake
Ingredients:
- 3 chicken breasts, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 tbsp salt
- 9 flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 C shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 C sour cream
- 1 lime
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss together the chicken, bell peppers, onion, fajita seasoning, olive oil, and salt. Bake 30 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 360 degrees F.
- Brush a bundt pan with olive oil. Tuck 5 tortillas into the pan, add the remaining 4 tortillas behind the first layer. Put half of the cheese into the tortilla-lined bundt pan. Top with the cooked chicken mixture, tomato, cilantro, and remaining cheese.
- Press tortillas over the cheese. Bake 25 minutes.
- Flip out the fajita cake.
- Mix sour cream with a little lime juice, to taste. “Frost” the “cake.” Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime zest.

You could have done the strawberry ice cream too! That was frozen in a bundt pan! Haha! But this one is unique and looks good!
Haha! I did giggle when we did it that way. 😉 But Stacy said the Bundt still had to be Baked.
I simply love this…way to think outside of the box! I’m gonna have to give this one a try for neighbor dinner night…I think they’ll really love it!
