My Two Bundts

I just bought my first bundt cake pan!  I always think of My Big Fat Greek Wedding whenever I say, "Bundt."  


My first attempt was a fail.  Turns out you really have to spray the pan before pouring the batter in.  I mean, really lay it on thick.  Or else...

Again, please excuse the lousy photography.

You get a crater looking ring cake.  But that's okay, just sprinkle some powdered sugar and it's barely noticeable.

My second bundt turned out lovely!  This one is a poppyseed bundt with a vibrant blueberry glaze.  

This Joy the Baker recipe calls for a lot of poppyseed (2 tablespoons).  Whole Foods carries a reasonably priced ($2.89) tiny box of poppyseeds (just pour the entire box into the batter and you are good).

I brought this one over to a bbq over the long weekend.  It was a fabulous afternoon filled with food, happy kids, a quick pedi-outing for the moms and Tangled!
