Keep reading below to see what other holiday bundt cakes Bundtamonth bakers came up with. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing.

#Bundtamonth: Strawberry Jam Glazed Spiced Pound Cake with Buttermilk and Orange

November 8, 2013 By Laura 18 Comments

This Bundt-A-Month was tough for me. Not because I don’t like jam, the theme (I do!!), but because figuring out how to successfully incorporate the jam into the cake was hard for me. My first cake was a pretty big flop. Like throw it out for the birds and squirrels kind of flop! It was…

#BundtaMonth: M&M Cream Cheese Pound Cake

October 4, 2013 By Laura 20 Comments

M&M Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

As soon as the theme for October was announced in my Bundt A Month group, I knew I would be baking my bundt cake for the elementary school carnival cake walk. Why? Because the theme is candy, and who likes candy more than kids?  Plus, I had a sneaking suspicion I would use M&Ms, since…

Streusel Apple Bundt Cake: #Bundtamonth

September 6, 2013 By Laura 24 Comments

Spiced Apple Bundt Cake Layered with Pecan Streusel

There was a mishap. A mishap we shall not speak of. There might have been screaming. And yelling. Tears even. Because I am serious about bundt cakes, and especially this one, made to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Bundtamonth (theme: fancy!) and made as dessert for a dinner that night with guests.

#BundtAMonth: Vinho Verde Pound Cake with Peaches & Blueberries

August 2, 2013 By Laura 25 Comments

Peach and Blueberry Bundt Cake with Sparkling Wine

I mentioned the other day how much I am loving re-discovering Veronica Mars. Well apparently I am really loving it because it is 10:56 pm on August 1 and this post is due to go live at midnight August 2. Ooops. Guess I totally forgot about it while my brain was lost in Neptune, CA.

#BundtAMonth: Mahlab Vanilla Bundt Cake

April 3, 2013 By Laura 23 Comments

I cannot decide if this qualifies as a bundt cake! I don’t know why, when I planned to make my BundtAMonth cake at my in laws’ house, it did not occur to me to bring a pan. I guess I forget not everyone lives in my world of owning 3,000 bundt pans.  So this cake…

#BundtAMonth: Vanilla Orange Bundt Cake with a Hint of Coconut

March 7, 2013 By Laura 20 Comments

Orange Vanilla Bundt Cake with a Hint of Coconut

This cake was by far the biggest Bundt A Month challenge I have faced. Confession: I don’t usually care for tropical desserts. And tropical is March’s theme. Have you ever noticed that the hotter the climate gets, the sweeter the desserts get? Not richer or unhealthier, but just naturally sweeter. Rice puddings, custards… They are…

#BundtAMonth: Double Chocolate Swirled Bundt Cake

February 1, 2013 By Laura 16 Comments

Surely you knew the theme for February would be chocolate! Happily for me, I made this cake before getting sick–and therefore even got to enjoy some of it. Happily for my friends, I brought it to a friend’s birthday celebration at a local bar. Not as happily for you guys, that means all the pictures of…

#BundtaMonth: Citrus Bundt Cake with Sparkling Wine and Fiori di Sicilia… Trifle

January 16, 2013 By Laura 16 Comments

unglazed mojito bundt cake

You might have guessed from both my title and my picture that this month’s BundtAMonth did not go as planned. The first problem was that I just did not have many occasions on which to bake a bundt cake, given that I was sick throughout the holidays. Then, when I did make one, I made…

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture. That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly. My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
