TWD: Holiday Bundt Cake
Time for another bundt, friends.
My bundt pan got a workout this weekend!
My bundt pan got a workout this weekend!
This one’s a TWD pick from Britin of The Nitty Britty – Dorie’s All-In-One Holiday Bundt Cake. It’s called “all-in-one” because it’s got some of the best holiday flavors- pumpkin, cranberry, apple, pecans, maple- all rolled up into one cake.
I wasn’t expecting this to be that good (no offense, Dorie, love you!), but it was really tasty. It was moist, which is key for me with cakes, and just sweet enough that you could eat 1/2 of it without really noticing. I took it to a church gathering and got great reviews, even from the kids! That’s saying something. The hubs was also a huge fan, but prefers to call it “butt cake” because it gives me the giggles.
If you’re thinking about making this, do it. With the pumpkin (I used fresh-made puree), cranberries, and apples, it’s basically a health-food. I’d like to think I’m exposing the baby to new fruits and vegetables and expanding his horizons already. Can’t argue with that.
I’m hoping to get to that crazy Chestnut cake next week, but I make no promises. Hubs is having a birthday and we’ll be doing some Turkey Day traveling, so I may not have the time to go on a mad search for chestnuts around town. We’ll see!
*Tuesdays with Dorie is a group of bloggers baking through Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours.

I’ve decided against making the chestnut cake, too much stuff going on with thanksgiving and all. Love your butt cake 😉 looks fabulous!
Beautiful bundt cake.
I made it this week too.
My icing doesn’t look near as good as yours.
Your cake looks great and I especially love how the drizzle on top looks!! I made this, but froze it to save for Thanksgiving. I am very excited to try it!
I still haven’t made my cake, but based upon all the positive reviews, it will be really good.
And I like your comment about exposing the baby to all the healthy stuff early on!
It’s so beautiful! I just put a bundt pan on my wish list so hopefully I will get one and I can make this delicious cake…yum!
I love that you called this cake “health food”… We think alike! Yours looks beautiful!
Very pretty! I didn’t think I would like it either. Boy…was I wrong!
….There’s a hole in this cake.

Missyou
