You all know how much I love to bake, especially cheesecakes and tarts, but I have to admit I never bake regular cakes. They always seem to come out looking like ski slopes requiring a lot of icing on one side to even them out. But, I have always wanted to try my hand at a Bundt Cake and I just did. Much to my surprise, it worked.
Using our friends, Kirk and Sue as guinea pigs, I found the following recipe on Cooks.com and made it. Guess what, it came out great. It really was good, light and fluffy. So, I wanted to give it to all of you to try. To serve it, I mixed fresh berries with a little sugar, let them set for 1 hour and served on top. Yum, yum…Bet whipped cream would be good also.

Brenda, instead of milk for the glaze try rum.
ReplyDeleteHi Dave and Susie,
ReplyDeleteI just saw your comment. Had some computer problems but fixed now. That is a wonderful idea will try next time I make. This is one of my favorite cakes anyway so I make it often.
