Happy Halloween!
For Halloween, my Bundt cake dressed up as Hello Kitty ;)

Are you dressing up today? Me? I'm a...librarian! I'm working at the library and then going home to see how many little monsters, princesses and Kate Gosselin reverse mullet wigs come by.

I really like blueberries. I can eat them straight from the container, in a jam or even dried. Oh, them antioxidant-rich little Smurfy fruit are quite lovely.

I just can't make them into a muffin (for some reason, that is a huge black hole of baking for me).

So, when there is blueberry cake, I'm all there. And when it's a Bundt? You know I'm in the kitchen.

I used frozen Trader Joe's Wild Blueberries. I love the wild blueberries because they are smaller than the regular blueberries.

Fresh orange zest adds a nice touch to this pound cakey Bundt.

  5. This is terrible. I want to try each of your bundts. Tell me, who is eating all those bundt cakes. You can send any extras, my way.

    Have you seen the freeze dried blueberries at TJ's... a new addiction for me, and I think they will be for you!

  8. This is a great bundt recipe. I've made it with just blueberries and also with frozen mixed berries I get at Costco.

    I like big bundts too!

  9. I'm dying here from all these great bundts! This one is my favorite so far. I'm a sucker for anything blueberry and buttermilk. My 1nd favorite is with Nutella!

  10. What an adorable bundt! I love Hello Kitty peeking over the top:) I'm with you about the wild blueberries too. I think that them being smaller is helpful because they do not break so much when you incorporate them into a cake or muffins.
