Ever since I started baking with the #BundtAMonth group, I have been steadily feeding the cakes to my co-workers. The cakes disappear rather quickly, especially when the word spreads that my department has treats. On top of my coworkers enjoying the cakes, I am now getting requests for co-worker’s favorite flavors! This really makes my heart sing. I have rediscovered my lost love of baking, and thinking about the infinite number of flavor combinations for bundt cakes thrills me! I could seriously talk about flavors, baking, cooking, and food for hours and not be bored. I’d probably repeat myself a few times, but in hours of chatter it’s bound to happen.
This month’s theme was to make a SWIRLY bundt. In recent months, I have made some pretty cool tunnel bundts like my Chocolate Bundt With Coconut Cream Cheese Filling. and my Chocolate Peanut Butter Layered Bundt, but a swirl? Now that’s just a bit intimidating. I had two separate requests in the office, one for cinnamon and one for pecans…I combined them to make this Cinnamon Praline Pecan Swirl Bundt Cake.
Talk about beginner’s luck! Look at that gorgeous swirl, if I do say so myself! I was so excited when I sliced into this cake, and I saw that it wasn’t a total disaster! I was inspired by a recipe for Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake from my Kiss My Bundt cookbook. I swapped up few ingredients, like my go to creamer, my swirl mixture, and just went to town. Last week, at my local Whole Foods market, I could not resist buying a container of delicious praline pecans. Hey! It was on sale! I had to buy it…or so I told my husband.
This bundt was definitely a great way to use those pecans. I got two thumbs up from the office crew, and a few comments that it was my best bundt yet! Wahooo! I know that is saying a lot, because I have brought in quite a few bundt cakes for them to try over the past few months.
Personally, I really liked the flavors of this cake. The dense cake was very moist, and the praline pecan swirl carmelized and kind of soaked into the cake to really spread the flavor throughout. I have to agree with my co-workers. This was an excellent bundt. And speaking of excellent bundts…wait until you see all the amazing swirl creations the team came up with for y’all this month! Your mouth will be watering before you leave the first blog. Now head on over and check them out! I know I will be. I have an office to treat.
