all about bundt cakes.

i have been all about making bundt cakes at work lately.  bundt coffee cakes, bundt pound cakes, bundt cake cakes.  you name it, i want to put it in a bundt pan.

that is a funny word, bundt.

especially when you type it over & over again.

i wonder where it came from...

anyway, bundt cakes.  we are friends.

{blueberry coffee cake!
the customer favorite}

 {apple coffee cake!
a great use of extra apples}

 {cream cheese pound cake!
yum!
who knew i liked pound cake?}

yeah yeah, they all look the exact same.  we only have one bundt pan.  but i'm ok with that.  so many options.  i've also made a honey bun coffee cake, which is probably my favorite.  it has a ton of brown sugar & pecans.  so good!

& i've been really wanting to make this one i found in the food network magazine:  a rootbeer bundt cake!  i'll let you know how it turns out.  guarantee it wont look this pretty.


hope you have a fantastic weekend!  i have a lot of baking to do today with work & the intern party.  {remember last year HERE?}  should be a fun day!

love love,
kjp.

  1. Lucky for you I know where the word "bundt" came from :) I have the Encyclopedia of Jewish Food and happened to read that entry - it's the most interesting one I've read so far. You can read the whole entry (a page and a half) at http://books.google.com/books?id=ojc4Uker_V0C&pg=PA80&lpg=PA80&dq=%22encyclopedia+of+jewish+food%22+bundt&source=bl&ots=NOgLHsKNfD&sig=k5TbD2gZUhIJobQeGuSL04KH6dw&hl=en&ei=Q-M7To_AFqTC0AGq4vk9&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

    My favorite cake in a bundt pan is my mom's chocolate chip yellow cake. A bundt pan is not just for cakes though - I use it for a sweet noodle kugel, and I've seen them used in a lot of Jewish homes as Jello molds. Have fun with these new bundt pan ideas!
