 Pumpkin Chai Spiced Bundt Cake #Bundt bakers It has been a really long time since I participated with the Bundt Bakers, and to be honest I do miss it! Life has thrown some curve balls in the last 1,5 year, and I simply didn't have the energy or the right mind set to write on my blog. But so that everybody knows, I do have been baking, of course! Baking is what makes my soul sing :-) ¡Hacía mucho que no participaba en los Bundt Bakers, y la verdad es que lo echaba de menos! La vida se me ha complicado el último año y medio, y no he tenido energía ni ganas de escribir nada en el blog. Pero por si alguien lo duda, ¡no he dejado de hacer dulces en el horno! Eso es lo que me mantiene viva :-) Our host is Stacy from Food Lust People Love who has chosen the theme of Pumpkin for this October month; and I could simply not resist it ;-) I absolutely love pumpkin, and already have a Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Bundt on my blog, but not a TRUE orangy color pumpkin bundt and that is what I a...

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...

Yellow Vanilla Bundt Cake with Hot Fudge Sauce #Bundtbakers The Bundtbakers November theme is "Punt the Bundt" by Sue from Palatable Pastime . The idea is to make a bundt cake perfect for tailgaiting. What is tailgating? In the USA, people who go to football games early will picnic out of the back of their vehicles, usually in the parking lot, often in elaborate ways. But we could also make a cake perfect for on the road or to a picnic (nothing about football ;-) ). For me, the "perfect occasion" to finally publish a recipe for an absolutely delicious Vanilla Bundt cake, with extra egg yolks to make it a Classic Yellow Vanilla Bundt Cake. The cake has lots of butter (yes!) and buttermilk (yes, yes!), to make it the quintessential comfort cake :-) And yes, the right Bundt cake for a picnic, since everybody loves vanilla, right? ;-) On top a hot fudge sauce, packed with chocolate, and of course home-made. If you want, you can also make a simple chocolate...

Autumn Spiced Carrot Bundt Cake #Bundtbakers Finally, it's Fall again, my most favorite baking season! :-) And also a long time ago that I had been baking a new Bundt Cake recipe, so when I saw the theme that Felice of All That’s Left Are The Crumbs proposed “Orange ” , I put my name right away on the list. You could chose “Orange ” as a flavour, or orange as a color, that is anything with carrots, sweet potatos, pumpkin, etc. I was still missing a Carrot Bundt Cake on my blog, and the idea of making this an Autumn Spiced one, with loads of spices, grated apples, pieces of juicy pears and pecan nuts really got me enthusiastic. And I added orange peel, because well, the more “orange ” better this month :-) You can serve it without anything, it is absolutely delicious just as it is. But I added a Cinnamon Coconut Caramel to it, yes, just because Fall baking is my favourite moment ;-) ¡Por fin ha vuelto el otoño, mi estación favorita en lo referente al horno! :-) Y, además,...

Orange Cranberry Bundt Cake #BundtBakers It's already December again! Christmas is coming up, which means that we will be seeing our family again who are living quite far away :-) And of course, baking again for them! Laura of Baking in Pyjamas , is the host of this month with the theme "Winter Wonderland", anything that comes to mind when you hear these words, it can be Christmassy or not. Since I wanted to make this cake with Oranges and Cranberries for some time now, my Bundt cake is definetely going to be very Christmassy ;-) Thanks, Laura, loved the theme! ¡Ya estamos de nuevo en diciembre! La Navidad está a la vuelta de la esquina, con los seres queridos que vienen a vernos de tan lejos... :-) ¡Así que hay que hornear algo rico para ellos, por supuesto! Laura, de Baking in Pyjamas , es la anfitriona de este mes, con el tema —más o menos libremente traducido— «Fantasía invernal»: cualquier cosa que te venga a la cabeza al oír estas palabras, navideña o ...

Salted Caramel Pear Bundt Cake #BundtBakers And it's time again to be baking for our friends at the BundtBakers! For November Lauren, from  Sew You Think You Can Cook , chose "baking bundt cakes with pears inside" . I had never made a Bundt cake with pears before, so I was quite happy with the theme. I was thinking right away about the Coffee Cakes with Streusel I make that have pears for a filling, or the caramelized pears that I use for a filling in between layer cakes... mmm difficult to choose ;-) At the end I chose for the combination of Salted Caramel (in the batter and as a sauce on top) with caramelized pears. And it did turn out quite nice ;-) Thanks Lauren for the delicious Fall theme! ¡De nuevo llega el momento de hacer algo para nuestros amigos de Bundt Bakers! Ya sabéis que, cada mes, la anfitriona elige un tema sobre el que hay que desarrollar la receta. En noviembre, Lauren, del blog  Sew You Think You Can Cook , nos ha propuesto elaborar...

Bundt Cake de Canela y Manzana con salsa de car a melo salado/ Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake with salted caramel He aqu í una de mis recetas favoritas de bundt cake ; cada otoño , cuando las temperaturas ya van bajando, siento unos deseos irresistibles de hacer este bundt de canela y manzana . Es una rece ta realmente sencilla, y resulta en un bizcocho tan jugoso y delicioso que, cada vez que lo comas, te perguntarás por qu é no lo has hecho antes ;-) This is one of my favourite Bundt cake recipes; every year when the temperatures are going down again, I can't wait to start baking this Apple and Cinnamon Bundt cake again. It is one of those recipes that is really easy to make, and turns out in such a great, moist and juicy cake, that everytime you eat it, you can't believe you didn't make it before ;-) Por si fuera p oco, l a adi ción de la salsa de caramelo a la sal lo convierte en un bizcocho de fiesta ;-) No es imprescindible añadir la salsa, pero ¿no le da ...

Arabian Nights Bundt Cake #BundtBakers One Thousand and One Nights is the theme for May, and the host is... me :-) It is my first time to host a theme/month at the Bundt Bakers group and to be honest, it took me more time to read everything I had to do (and how to do it ;-) ) than thinking about the recipe :-) But it was fun, specially thinking about a theme! Las mil y una noches era nuestro tema para el mes de mayo, y la anfitriona era... yo :-) Ha sido mi primera ocasión para idear un tema de Bundt Bakers y, para ser honesta, me costó más tiempo leer todo lo que tenía que hacer (y cómo hacerlo ;-) ) que pensar en la receta que iba a usar :-) ¡Pero ha sido muy divertido, sobre todo lo de pensar un tema! "Let Scheherazade's tales ensnare you as they ensnared Shahryar. Let them inspire you to bake something with the most suggestive ingredients from Arabic, Persian and Indian kitchens. Use pistachios, almonds, dates, raisins, cashews, spearmint, saffron, cardamom, ...
