Title: Any bundt cake suggestions?
Post by: Dagstag v 2.0 on September 30, 2014, 12:39:46 PM
I am baking a couple of cakes for the Yom Kippur fast-breaking.  I am making a good old carrot bundt cake, and wanted to make a second cake, also a bundt, but maybe something more unique/interesting.

Any suggestions?  Preferably something without glaze or icing, but I'm open to anything.

I like this one and I skip the glaze:  http://www.marthastewart.com/313216/apple-cinnamon-bundt-cake (http://www.marthastewart.com/313216/apple-cinnamon-bundt-cake)

It would be good with a caramel glaze though...

as much as i hate admitting this...  my favorite bundt cake is southern comfort cake.

most of the recipes online use mixes, but i've managed to cobble together a pretty good one with a basic sponge cake recipe.

It's ok.. no shame.  I made a delicious cake in Ireland with (among other ingredients) Bailey's and instant custard.

I like the idea of an apple-cinnamon cake... I think my mom has a recipe for an apple-streusel bundt cake, with the streusel sort of marbleized through it.

Diabilita shared a wonderful almond/rum cake that can be baked in a bundnt pan. I made it in 2010, I believe.

It can be made gluten free by replacing the flour with more almond flour.

I saw at least 3 or 4 other bundt pans I wanted... some of them were around $40 each!  Yikes.

yeah, there are some INCREDIBLE bundt pans out there, i have got to resist buying them all as well. I have a plain one, a small one and the fancy one. I would like a set of mini ones.

This is a great pound cake that improves on day 2.  It has a LOT of butter but that's good, right?


Chocolate Pound Cake

Sift together 1 C. cocoa powder, 2 C. all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp.salt and 2 Tbs. instant espresso powder. Blend well and set aside.

Put 3 sticks unsalted butter in your mixer bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Then gradually add 3 C. sugar and beat for 5 minutes. Then beat in 5 eggs one at a time. Beat in 2 tsp.vanilla.
Combine 1 C.buttermilk with 1/4 C.water. Add the dry ingredients alternating with the wet to the eggs and sugar. Mix well and be sure that all is combined well to avoid streaks.

Pour into a greased 10" tube pan and bake at 325 F. for and hour and 20 minutes.

It will serve 12-15 people and will stay moist for several days, improving on day 2.

It’s a very stiff batter; make it in a stand mixer.

I know, right?  If I tried that, it would look like a poo and THC had a baby.

Found it a little while ago.  It may have hopped into my cart at that time.

I like big bundts (http://www.foodlibrarian.com/p/i-like-big-bundts.html) is a great collection of recipes.


and this dark chocolate and bourbon bundt (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/03/dining/031arex.html?_r=0) is really really good.

I'll check that site out, cg!

I did find this: http://www.coffeeandcrumpets.com/roasted-parsnip-cake/ (http://www.coffeeandcrumpets.com/roasted-parsnip-cake/)  ... looks interesting (?)
Title: Re: Any bundt cake suggestions?
Post by: witchypoo on October 01, 2014, 01:33:28 PM
that's probably quite nice - the parsnips will keep the cake moist (well, together with the yogurt) and provide a little vegetal sweetness.

This made me giggle way more than necessary.

The Star of David bundt cake is delightfully ridiculous.

Yes!  I like big Jewish bundts, it's true.  I'm thinking of making the ultimate lemon bundt from that sight.
