Heavenly Bundt Cake

bundt cake platedMy most wonderful mother-in-law is spending the weekend with us.

So I baked a cake.

While it was baking yesterday, I kept thinking of that catchy tune If I Knew You Were Coming I’d’ve a Baked a Cake.

Since I did know she was coming and I did bake a cake, I thought I’d share the recipe with you.

I love bundt cakes because they are so easy to make and always so moist. I decided to experiment a little and boy was that a tasty idea. Even Captain Cavedweller gave this a two thumbs up.

Heavenly Bundt Cake

1 vanilla cake mix

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup oil

1 cup sour cream

1 small pkg. instant cheesecake pudding

1 can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350 and thoroughly spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs. Add in cake mix, water, oil, sour cream and pudding. Beat on medium speed about three minutes.

Open the sweetened condensed milk and pour into the bundt pan. Yes, the whole can.

Spoon cake batter over the milk. Do not mix or stir!

Bake for about 50 minutes, until cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Invert over a serving plate. All that deliciously yummy sweetened condensed milk has made the most glorious topping on your cake and soaked into the top layer.

If you can refrain from eating it right then, chill until ready to serve.

Peach Bundt Cake with Peach Reduction Sauce

Posted in Cake, Desserts, Entertaining at Home, Recipes, tagged , , , , , on March 29, 2013| Leave a Comment »

peach cake finished

The other day I wanted something easy to make that tasted of sunshine and warm days. Peaches came to mind and since I have a thing for bundt cakes (so simple to make with very little effort and always tasty), I decided to incorporate the two.

This cake comes together in a snap, although the reduction sauce takes a little time and attention. You can skip it if you want, but it does add a nice layer of flavor to the finished dish.

Enjoy a little burst of summer flavor!

Peach Bundt Cake

1 box French Vanilla Cake Mix

1 small package instant cheesecake pudding

1 (15.25 oz) can peaches

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup oil

3 eggs

1/2 cup cream cheese frosting

Peach Reduction Sauce

whipped cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend dry ingredients. Slice peaches into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.  Lightly beat eggs then mix eggs, water, oil and sour cream with dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until combined. The batter will be super thick, so don’t panic.

Scoop half the batter into a greased bundt pan, evening it up as best you can (I tap the pan on the counter to get out air bubbles and even up the batter). Sprinkled peaches around the batter layer then top with the remaining batter.  Bake for one hour or until it starts to pull away from the edges of the pan.

Let cool completely then invert on a cake plate. Put frosting into a microwaveable pitcher or bowl and nuke it for about 12 seconds. It doesn’t take very long at all. Drizzle over cake. Serve with peach reduction sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.

Peach Reduction Sauce

Juice drained from can of peaches (about 1 cup)

1/3 cup sugar

In a heavy saucepan, stir sugar into peach juice and cook on medium heat for about twenty minutes, stirring occasionally. The juice will reduce down and thicken into a lovely amber-colored sauce that tastes wonderfully divine.

Strawberry Bundt Cake

Strawberry Bundt Cake

I needed to make a cake to take to a potluck as well as whip up dessert for the people at my house, so I doubled the recipe for this. That was not only a good idea, but a tasty one as well. This recipe for Strawberry Bundt Cake is easy, moist and very yummy. Especially by the time you put frosting, strawberry and chocolate syrup on top of it.

The ingredients - minus the chocolate syrup. Just a bottle of Hershey's works great.

Dump all ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Batter will be really thick.

Bright pink batter in the pan.

Baked to a lovely golden brown on top.

Even the minis are golden brown.

Once cool, turn out of pan onto a serving platter. Parden my plastic plate. I wanted to be able to leave it at the potluck and not worry about finding my dish later.

Zap frosting in the microwave for about 12-15 seconds, until it is thin and pourable.

Then pour it on. You can go thick or thin in the application. My theory is more is better!

Next, pour on the strawberry syrup, drizzling it down the sides.

Do the same with the mini cake.

If so desired, drizzle on some chocolate syrup then garnish with fresh berries. Then enjoy!

Strawberry Bundt Cake

1 box Strawberry Cake Mix

1 small package instant cheesecake pudding

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup oil

3 eggs

1/2 cup vanilla or cream cheese frosting

Strawberries

Strawberry Syrup

Chocolate Syrup (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend all ingredients on medium speed until combined. The batter is supposed to be super thick, so don’t worry if it seems heavy.

Scoop it into a greased bundt pan, evening it up as best you can (I tap the pan on the counter to get out air bubbles and even up the batter). Bake for one hour or until it starts to pull away from the edges of the pan.

Let cool completely then invert on a cake plate. Put 1/2 cup of  frosting into a microwaveable pitcher or bowl and nuke it for about 12 seconds. For this recipe I ended up using  Cream Cheese Frosting. That was a very good decision

Drizzle frosting over the cake. Then drizzle on strawberry syrup.

You can finish it off with a drizzle of chocolate syrup if you so desire, and of course I desired. Serve with sliced fresh strawberries and enjoy!

Vanilla Bundt Cake

Vanilla Bundt Cake with Raspberries and Whipped Cream

I was in the mood for cake the other day and decided to go for a bundt cake. I don’t know why I love them so, but I do. It is hard to mess up a bundt cake and there are so many delicious ways to serve it up.

The recipe is simple and the cake was moist, flavorful and quite tasty. Captain Cavedweller even liked it.

The ingredients. I forgot to include whipping cream. And please ignore the fact the can of frosting was purchased in December.

Add a teaspoon of vanilla to the cake mix and pudding mix.

Lightly beat the eggs then add them along with water, sour cream and oil to the bowl.

Mix the batter in medium speed until well combined. It will be thick. Really thick. Do not be afraid of the thickness.

Pour batter into a greased bundt pan. If you don't have a bundt pan, an angel food pan will do. If you don't have one of those you need to get one! You could also, in a pinch, use an oven-proof bowl and an oven-proof cup - put the cup upside down in the bowl and pour in batter. I don't guarantee the results, though!

Even out the batter in the pan and bake for an hour.

Check to make sure the cake is cooked through. I used a skewer and it worked splendidly.

Let the cake cool completely then turn out of the pan. Notice this bundt pan is in a rose pattern. I'll give you three guesses where it came from... it wasn't the heinous cat, it wasn't the interloper but it may have been my resident cavedweller.

You need about 1/2 cup of the canned frosting. Put in a microwave safe pitcher (I used a cream pitcher and it worked perfect!). Nuke for about 12 seconds and you have automatic warm glaze!

Drizzle glaze over cake.

Yum!

Enjoy!

Vanilla Bundt Cake

1 box French Vanilla Cake Mix

1 small package instant vanilla pudding

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup oil

3 eggs

1/2 cup vanilla frosting

Raspberries

Whipping Cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend dry ingredients. Add vanilla extract. Lightly beat eggs then mix eggs, water, oil and sour cream with batter. Beat on medium speed until combined. The batter will be super thick, so don’t panic.

Scoop it into a greased bundt pan, evening it up as best you can (I tap the pan on the counter to get out air bubbles and even up the batter). Bake for one hour or until it starts to pull away from the edges of the pan.

Let cool completely then invert on a cake plate. Put 1/2 cup of pre-made frosting into a microwaveable pitcher or bowl and nuke it for about 12 seconds. It doesn’t take very long at all. Drizzle over cake.

Serve with fresh whipped cream and raspberries. I had to add a drizzle of chocolate to the plate. You could also serve with ice cream.

Enjoy!
