Carefully line the greased bundt pan with lasagna noodles. Overlap the noodles slightly, ensuring they cover the entire inner surface of the pan. Allow the ends of the noodles to extend over the top edge of the pan. You may need to trim some noodles to fit or use smaller pieces to fill gaps.

Let the Bundt Cake Lasagna rest in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving platter or cutting board. This allows it to set and makes for easier removal.
