Buttercake Bakery's Marble Bundt Cake
Day #1 - I Like Big Bundts 2011
Where has the time gone?! I'm back for another marathon of Bundts! Because I cannot lie, I Like Big Bundts!For those who are new to the blog or just visiting, I love the Bundt cake. I like cake but don't care for frosting (too sweet for me). The bundt? It's perfection with just a light dusting of powdered sugar or a light glaze. A couple years ago, I thought I would celebrate National Bundt Day on November 15th by making 30 different bundt cakes prior to an awesome holiday. I mentioned this to my totally sharp friend, JustJenn and she said, "I Like Big Bundts!"
I hope this year is fun for you, and I hope you mark November 15th on your calendar! Last year, if you made a Bundt for National Bundt Day, I mailed out a JustJenn designed button proclaming that you too like Big Bundts. This year, I have something special planned for those who bake along! (submission info coming next week)
It's Day #1 of I Like Big Bundts: 30 days of bundt cakes! I hope you stick around, and I hope you find a recipe to try on National Bundt Day (November 15th).

Bundt Pan: Traditional 12-cup Bundt Pan
Recipe adapted from the Los Angeles Times Food Section Culinary SOS. Culinary SOS is great - readers ask (well, most of the time they beg) for a recipe from a local restaurant or bakery. In 2008, someone asked for the Buttercake Bakery's recipe. If you are in So Cal, visit the Buttercake Bakery in West LA or West Hollywood. (I used Night Baking's weight measurements and have included them on the recipe. Thanks Jami!)

Hi, I usually don't comment but I started to read you after 2010 National Bundt day thanks to my friend Bea who introduced us your wonderful blog. She stunged me with this Nordic Ware poison and so far I purchased 3: Original, Heritage and Bavaria, but I wish I had all of them. This year I would like to join this fun initiative of yours, is it ok if I post one bundt recipe on november 15th and I mail you the link or do I have to proceed otherwise? Cheers from Fabi in Madrid- Spain.

My goodness that bundt cake looks delicious! I worked at a bakery over the summer and they made the best vanilla/chocolate marble loaves. This budnt cake totally reminds me of it. I look forward to seeing the rest of your bundt cakes (:
Yay Im so excited you are doing this again this year! I love bundts too and really don't bake them enough. Can't wait to see what you'll be baking this year!!
@The Food Librarian Thank you very much Mary, I'll be waiting for instructions :-*
Stunning as always Mary. Can;t wait to see what you bake tomorrow, and the next day and the day after that. I'm plotting what I will be making too cuz I too love big bundts :)
YAAAAAY the bundt extravaganza has returned, and this cake looks DELICIOUS!
Another year...I can't believe it! I am wicked psyched, as they say in Boston. This bundt looks really great - love those sexy bundt curves!
Love a marble cake, great first choice!
Off to go check out Night Baking, I haven't heard of that one before!
What type of flour are you using for this recipe? Thanks!
@Anonymous I used all-purpose unbleached flour, King Arthur.
Looks wonderful! I like frosting, but agree with you that a cake without frosting is delish.

Looks great. As does the marble bundt you made last October. Which do you like better? Which did you find moister?
@Anonymous Dear Anonymous, I actually have a very poor memory and an even worst food memory. I can't tell compare two things a year apart...I just don't remember. I can say that this cake was delicious! - mary
Beautiful marbling in this decadent looking cake. Can't believe it's been a a year already!
That is an adorable and innovative idea. I just love this cakes that is simply brilliant with great perfection. I really like the design and shape that is fantastic and it is suitable for any time. Great job and thanks for share.
