It’s Taco Tuesday, my favorite day of the week! But this week I decided change things up a bit and made a tamale recipe in a bundt pan that is actually like a bunk (bundt) cake. I love making things in my bundt pan. Check out my All Natural Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe I made in the bundt pan.

Tamale Recipe in a Bundt Pan

This tamale recipe in a bundt pan is so super easy! I love making cornbread, but only from scratch, and this recipe is so quick and simple it didn’t take long. The longest part was cooking the meat and allowing it to simmer to absorb the juices.

I really like that I could put this faux tamale recipe together ahead of time and cook it up when I was ready. I mixed the dry ingredients for the corn bread and set aside and did the same for the wet ingredients, then I cooked up the meat and set that aside. When I was ready, I just had to put it all together in the pan.

*Note: Do not mix the wet and dry ingredients together until you are ready to bake or you will end up with flat cornbread due to the baking powder action!
