TWD: Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

Just to get things out of the way, there is no picture of my Brown Sugar Bundt Cake, because once again, I found myself chowing down on the last bite of my miniature bundt cake before realizing that I had forgotten to take a picture. Peggy from Pantry Revisited chose this deceptively simple but flavorful cake for today's episode of Tuesdays with Dorie. You can find the recipe on her blog.

In just four weeks, our local pool opens, so with bathing suit season on the horizon I have been miniaturizing everything in sight. I made one small bundt (one-third recipe) with dried apricots and chopped apples. It was absolutely fantastic, although I think I might substitute dark brown sugar next time to get a real punch of brown sugar flavor. Breakfast? Morning snack? Afternoon snack? Dessert? It fits the bill. Thanks, Peggy - I love giving my bundt pans a workout, and this recipe was well worth the effort.

Next week: Lindsay from A Little Something… Sweet! chose Maple Cornmeal Biscuits on page 24 of Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan

    I used dark brown sugar and I should have made minis! Great job on the portion control!

    I really liked this cake. I made the hazelnut variation and frosted it with Nutella frosting. Decadent and tasty!

    I am in denial about bathing suit season. I made tiny bundts too.

    This seems to be a versatile cake with everyone putting their own spin on it and coming up with one delight after another. You were smart to make minis.

    This sounds delicious. You have great control to make only one mini cake - I would have made the three and justified it by saying it was easier than dividing the recipe into thirds. That way it is likely you would have remembered to take a photo before the last one was gone! Thanks for sharing.

    Eating up everything before you can even take a picture is a clear verdict for tastiness!

    ugh, I agree on the bathing suit situation- need to cut down the baked goods! This one was pretty tasty though

    I should be cutting back even more than I am, with bathing suits just around the corner. Good for you! Glad you liked this one.

    Minis are the way to go anytime, but especially this time of the year. My answer to the bathing suit problme - Large T-shirt.

    Minis are such a smart thing to do but I don't own a mini bundt. I like your dark brown sugar idea. Glad this one was so delicious it disappeared too fast to get a photo!
