Rich, decadent, buttery. This month for the taste and create challenge, I got paired with Min from Bad Girl's Kitchen. She's got lots of great recipes. This one, for a yogurt bundt cake appealed to me as I recently acquired a bundt pan and had not yet put it to use. The cake turned out delicious, but I neglected to follow the part of the recipe that says "let cake cool for awhile" and as a result, when I flipped it over, this is what happened:
Well, lesson learned! Next time - let cake cool longer. What can I say? I'm not the most patient person ever... Back to the actual cake though, I made it pretty much following the recipe Min gives on her blog. I didn't have any walnuts to put in the streusel, so I increased the brown sugar to a full cup. I loved the way the sugar formed a crisp crust and a beautiful ribbon through the middle of the cake. The yogurt in the batter gave the bundt a moist, rich consistency. I will definitely be making this again, I will just let it firm up a bit before I try and flip it!
Original recipe from Min at Bad Girl's Kitchen

1 cup brown sugar
2 heaping teaspoons cinnamon

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Cover with remaining batter.
Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.
Bake in 350 degree F oven for 40-45 minutes. Let cool for at least ten minutes, then turn out onto serving dish.
Look at that yummy caramelized brown sugar....

ReplyDeleteExcelente!! :-D
Even though it didn't come out of the pan well it looks delicious. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy right now. I could really eat it all up while sitting at my desk. It would be so happy in my belly! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh yum! It looks so delicious! And please know you aren't the first one who hasn't waited long enough to take a cake out of the pan :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just cant wait, I feel yah! Looks scrumtious anyways
ReplyDeleteDo you think this would work in a different kind of pan? I don't have a bundt form over here in England, but I can get regular-sized pans.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites! Good choice, glad you liked it. We've also used almonds, pecans, but probably walnuts most often.
ReplyDeleteAnna, I think it would work in a different pan, just make sure you grease & flour it. Maybe a 9x13" or whatever the metric equivalent is--you know, the rectangle pan =)
