Classy and Irresistible: 8 Very Tempting Bundt Cakes

2009-11-13-BundtCakes.jpgDid you know this Sunday is National Bundt Cake Day? Let's celebrate this classic confection with one of these oh-so-tempting recipes!

 
 

1. Brown Butter Pumpkin Bundt Cake from Bliss Tree - We can only imagine how incredible the nutty, caramel browned butter must taste with pumpkin in this cake.

2. Whiskey-Soaked Chocolate Bundt Cake from Orangette - This was recommended in our request for favorite bundt cakes, and we can't wait to try it!

3. Chai-Spiced Honey Bundt Cake from Epicurious - With a cup of coffee, this would do quite nicely for a mid-afternoon snack on a cold afternoon.

4. Pecan Molasses Bundt Cake with Bourbon Glaze from Epicurious - This sounds like a great recipe if you're not in the mood for something super sweet. We love pairing of molasses and bourbon.

5. Lemon-Ginger Bundt Cake from Martha Stewart - Lemon is one of our favorite flavors for cake, and the addition of crystallized ginger adds a spicy twist!

6. Spiced Upside-Down Apple Bundt Cake from Food & Wine - Topped with caramelized apples and flavored with calvados, this one sounds is perfect for autumn.

7. Pear Bundt Cake from Belly Bytes - Pears can often play second-fiddle to apples this time of year, so here's one way to give them a chance to shine!

8. Eggnog Spice Bundt Cake from Relish - Too soon for eggnog? Nah!

Which one of these cakes sounds the most tempting to you? Or is there another you recommend?

I made this carrot bundt cake last weekend, using dark rum for 1/2 of the orange juice and a mix of sugar and brown sugar:

I also added a tiny bit of rum to the glaze. It was delicious!

The espresso-chocolate-marbled (I forget exactly) bundt cake in Dorie Greenspan's Baking From My Home to Yours. It's so good, and I'm not really a bundt cake person.

Actually, I go for the classic German Gugelhupf:

Tough, I must admit, I added cranberries and pecans, not very traditional

In "The New James Beard" there's this spiced apple cake that's amazing.
