A Bundt Cake

Ok, so this post is not about my kids.  It’s back to my obsession with baking.  My sister-in-law bought me two new cakes pans!  I’m now the proud owner of a bundt cake pan and an angel food cake pan!  I was having a hard time putting them away and waiting until I had a reason to use them, but then my grandma came to visit and gave me an excuse.

This is my new bundt cake pan.  It’s green.  I love it!  If there’s anything prettier than the pan itself, it’s the cake when I flipped it out.

My biggest fear was that the cake would get stuck in the pan and come out in bits and pieces.  Not a problem.  It flipped out perfectly, every bump and curve perfect.  C even commented that it was a shame I was going to cover it with frosting so you couldn’t see the pretty shape.

I made an almond joy bundt cake because that was the one C picked out.  The batter has almond extract, sliced almonds and chocolate chips mixed in.  Mmmmmmm!

Then I mixed some almond extract in my homemade buttercream frosting and topped it with coconut shavings and little bits of almond joy bars.

Mmmmm, doesn’t that look good?

And as good as it looks, it tastes even better.  Yum!

So, if you come to my house, I’ll make you a cake.  You pick what kind you want, and I will make it!
