I bought a bundt cake pan a few years ago… cause it was pretty, pink (see below) but I have a confession to make… I’ve never used it! NOPE! not once. I always make regular cake, so why make a cake with a hole, with no frosting that’s just gonna dry out? ANYWAY Today is National Bundt Cake Day and the Celebrating Food bloggers voted to celebrate it this year so I HAD to step in and make one!
I will admit its pretty, and of course delicious, and now I want to try a few more. I admit that the glaze is runny and it’s a huge mess if you pour it all over… like i did for these pictures. Try pouring just a little at a time and letting it soak in before you add more. Or keep some to the side to pour on slices. The glaze keeps the cakefrom drying out, not that it lasted long enough to dry out, I actually made multiple ones for recipe testing purposes. The last time it did take us a little longer to eat… It’s pretty sweet.

Pour 3/4 of the batter into bundt pan
Cheesecake
beat the cream cheese, sugar, coconut cream and vanilla
once it's smooth add the egg and mix until just combined
pipe into the pan in an even layer (if you pipe it all together it will create a tunnel instead of a ribbon)
cover with the rest of the batter
Bake for 1 hour+, the cake will bounce back when pressed
Let cool 10 mins, then turn out
Glaze
bring the sugar, water and butter to a boil
let boil 5 mins
take off the heat and add the coconut

I will say I love the flavor of the coconut cream in the cheesecake, BUT the cheesecake layer sets much better without out, also it set’s better if you spread it as a thin layer rather than pipe it all in the center. When I pipe it all in the center it creates a tube in the middle (actually it sinks so not in the middle), and kind of a hollow hole with the cheesecake. When you spread it as a thin layer it just creates a nice ribbon of cheesecake in the cake, so it depends on what you prefer. The structure of the cake is better with the ribbon.
ANYWAY, anyone have a FAVORITE bundt cake I should consider first? I really want to try the multi colored ones, but I think I need one of the other pan shapes for that. Thankfully I have a great place to start, My other Celebrating Food Bloggers have a TON of recipes I can start with.

I LOVE bundt cakes! Banana bread works really well in a Bundt pan. I also make BHG pumpkin cake with molasses glaze – you can fill the “hole” with gooey molasses glaze. Martha Stewart’s Lemon Bundt cake is a huge hit at summer parties and you can fill the “hole” with fresh fruit.

I bet that’s a huge hit!
