Day 17 of I Like Big Bundts: 30 Days of Bundt Cakes
Carrot Walnut Bundt

Happy Monday!
I'm writing this post at 6:00 pm on Sunday night and I'm trying to keep my head from crashing into my laptop. Oh, the change in daylight saving time kicks my butt every six months. It's jet-lag for days! I could go to sleep right now.
Therefore, if this is completely incoherent, blame the time change. Or blame the sun. It was 81 degrees today in Los Angeles so I did what most people in the country do on November 1st...I went to the beach. ;)
Yes, I'm making 30 Bundts in the 30 days leading up to National Bundt Day on November 15th. Please get out the beloved Bundt pan and join me in the celebration!

It's Day #17 of the I Like Big Bundts! We are only TWO WEEKS away (thank godness!) from National Bundt Day! Whoo Hoo!
This is a Carrot Walnut Bundt Cake. The recipe is from the Metropolitan Bakery in Philadelphia. They have a Lemon Cream Cheese Icing. I didn't make that this time, but it does sound very yummy! I'll definitely try that next time.

Wow what a beautiful bundt pan! I love the intricate criss-cross effect.
Looks like a delicious recipe!
Wow!! Il est Ravissant ce gâteau:)xxx
You are too funny with the little quiz! Love it.
I kind of like the cream cheese inside! I just tried making pumpkin "ribbon" bread, but it was mixing up with the pumpkin batter so much that I just swirled it and thought it looked pretty cool!
Another good one by the Champ, Mary! Hang in there, my birthday will be here soon! ;)
Bundt cake tacos.
I too love that ripple of cream cheese, the cake looks awesome!! Thumbs up on these wonderful bundt cakes! :-)
Looks delicious! I think because the carrots it counts as a vegetable serving. :P
LOVE Bundt cakes, I will have to check all of these out! I just made a Halloween Bundt cake myself. They go a long way......and are very versatile.

What a beautiful cake! I'll be bookmarking this one for sure; carrots in cake are a perennial fave with the hubs.
Last night I went on a search through my cookbooks for bundt recipes. I couldn't believe how hard they can be to find; some of my baking books had nary a recipe baked in a bundt/tube pan. I don't know if you have any Nick Malghieri cookbooks, but he seems to have a lot of bundt cakes, especially coffee cake type ones. The upshot is that I now have a few contenders for National Bundt Day - one definite front runner but I'm not ready to declare a winner yet! I have two events to bake for this week, and will probably bake the mystery bundt and the TWD bundt so it's kind of "bundt week" in my kitchen!
your bundt pun made my day, thank you!
Would you provide the maker and the style of bundt pan you used for this one, please?

My local cooking place had it on CLEARANCE! Sweet! It was only $12. I couldn't pass it up! - mary
Man I don't know how you are doing all these bundts but I tip my hat to you! This one looks moist and delicious:)
The beach in November?! I would kill for that warm of weather--and I wouldn't mind eating that cake on the beach while I'm there! :-)
Nice bundt cake. I'll be bookmarking this recipe. I've just bought a bundt pan over the weekend and yesterday when i found your website, I just couldn't wait to try out the chocolate cinnamon bundt cake. So here I am with my first bundt cake but unfortunately, I think it doesn't really comes out ok becoz the middle part a bit moist. Should we decrease the temp. if using black bundt pans - interior is black and outside is red? thanks.
delia, the chocolate cinnamon bundt (http://foodlibrarian.blogspot.com/2009/04/cinnamon-chocolate-bundt-cake.html) varies on the baking time. the original recipe has a baking time that, for me, was way too short (25 minutes). i've had to bake it up to 35 minutes. my pans have a black inside and silvery on the outside. my pan is very heavy, i have seen bundt pans that are thinner...perhaps that makes a difference. i'm not a pro...so i'm not sure. but i would let this cake go longer until it isn't giggly in the center and a toothpick comes out clean...even if it goes beyond the 25-35 minute mark. - mary
Beautiful.
Just made this cake and it has come out really well. Thank you for the lovely recipe.
