Dutch Speculaas Bundt Cake #Bundt Bakers December is always my favorite month with the Bundt Bakers :-) The theme includes a festive recipe, or creating something with Christmas. And yes, icing sugar-snow, sugarplum-glitter, nutcracker- ingredients... that's all me, and makes me really happy ;-) Siempre digo que diciembre es mi mes favorito de los Bundt Bakers :-) El tema suele centrarse en elaborar una receta festiva, o crear algo «navideño», en el sentido que sea. Por supuesto, decorar con «nieve» de azúcar glas, brillos «Hada de azúcar», ingredientes de «El Cascanueces»... todas estas cosas me encantan y me hacen requetefeliz ;-) The theme for this year is International Holiday Bundts by Felice from All that is left are the crumbs. I have chosen the 5th of December, the Dutch Sinterklaas holiday, where we celebrate this day with lots of speculaas cookies, speculaas with almond paste filling, pepernoten, and other delicious sweets. And of course there are presents, but...

French Opera Bundt Cake #BundtBakers The November month is all about French Cake & Pastry Inspired Bundts, and yes, the host, "c'est moi" ;-) The idea was to make a bundt cake that is inspired by any of the many French (famous) cakes and pastries, that uses their ingredients (or ingredient combinations), or that is decorated in the same style. Some ideas for French cakes or pastries are: Charlotte, Croquembouche, Dacquoise, Gâteau Basque, Paris-Brest, Petit-fours, Cream Puffs, Eclairs, Macarons, Fraisier, Gâteau St. Honoré, Clafoutis, Opera Cake, Mille-feuille, Financier, Madeleines, Baba au Rhum, Buche de Noel, Brioches au Chocolat, Savarins, Tarte au Citrón, Kouglof, Kouign Amann, Cannelés bordelais, Tarte Tatin... El mes de noviembre está dedicado este año a los bundt cakes inspirados en las tartas y pastelería francesas. Y sí, esta vez la anfitriona es esta, vuestra humilde servidora ;-) La idea era ha...

Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake #Bundtbakers  And yes, this month we are baking again! The Bundtbakers June theme is "Bundt cakes with Chocolate" by Sue from Palatable Pastime . Last month Sue also hosted the theme, thank you so much, Sue for doing this, and dedicating your time to us! I absolutely loved Sue's last month's theme (Southern Cakes), and it was the first time in many months that I had been baking something new. And yes, it felt really good, hearing my (pink) Smeg(gy) beating again, and the delicious smell from the oven... so here I am again, and this month with a Chocolate and Coconut Bundt cake.  Coconut is the favorite flavor of my husband, and since Summer has already started here, something "tropical" with chocolate sounded really good. And I also was looking forward to trying this intriguing "coconut macaroon filling" inside the bundt cake, and right now seemed the perfect moment to combine these things. And it turned out...

Peanut Butter Bundt Cake #Bundtbakers The Bundtbakers May theme is "Southern Cakes" by Sue from Palatable Pastime . The idea is to make a bundt cake that has Southern culinary roots, like using ingredients as sweet potato, coconut, pecans, peaches and peanut butter. Of course there are a lot more ideas or inspiration ;-) But for me the peanut butter as ingredient was one that was already on my "cakes-to-make-list".  El tema de mayo de los Bundtbakers es «Tartas del Sur» [de EE.UU.] , ofrecido por Sue, de Palatable Pastime . La idea era hacer un bundt cake con alguna receta de origen o influencia del Sur estadounidense, con ingredientes como boniato, coco, pecanas, melocotón o manteca de cacahuete. Por supuesto que las ideas y las posibilidades eran inacabables ;-) Pero yo ya tenía en mi lista de bizcochos pendientes hacer algo con manteca de cacahuete. So the perfect occasion to participate again, after such a long time of no-baking, with the lovely grou...
