Do you cool a bundt cake upside down?
Get upside-down. Let the cake rest for 5 minutes once you remove it from the oven. Then flip the cake onto a cooling rack upside down and let it rest for about 5 minutes before you remove the pan. That can cause the cake to settle into the gaps and makes it harder to remove to a platter.
How do you test a bundt cake for doneness?

Can you frost a Bundt cake?
Hold bowl (or pitcher or pan) with icing over the center of one side of the cake. Begin pouring with one hand while slowly turning the plate or cake stand with the other hand.

What rack do you bake a Bundt cake on?
If the recipe does not specify where to position the rack, place it in the bottom third of your oven.
