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

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

Lemon poppy is always good, pumpkin, chocolate orange.

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.

Oooo. i just remembered my mother makes a pumpkin streusel bundt cake. that's pretty tasty.

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

From this thread.http://chrunners.net/forum/index.php?topic=47126.msg968622#msg968622

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

I, uh... may have just ordered a special bundt pan.

I got a really fancy Bundt pan for xmas last year and have not used it yet. I try not to make cakes that i will consume most of them

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

merigayle · « **Reply #12 on:** September 30, 2014, 06:06:36 PM »

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.

OMG I want that!

And I want Mags' version of my almond cake. That is seriously stunning Mags, wow!

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 is a great collection of recipes.

and this dark chocolate and bourbon bundt is really really good.

I'll check that site out, cg!

I did find this: http://www.coffeeandcrumpets.com/roasted-parsnip-cake/ ... looks interesting (?)

witchypoo · « **Reply #19 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.
