Food Librarian Bundt Favorites

Bakers are pulling out their bundt pans to get ready for November 15th National Bundt Day! Kimi asked me on twitter for my favorite bundts. I said, "That's like picking my favorite child!" I love them all, but the following are the ones I make repeatedly or have received great reviews from eaters and bakers.

Cinnamon Chocolate Bundt - I Like Big Bundts
My go-to Bundt. Completely simple to make with ingredients you probably have on hand. Don't even need a KitchenAid mixer - just a big bowl and whisk.

Buttermilk Butternut Squash Bundt with Spiced Vanilla Icing - I Like Big Bundts
Shredded butternut squash makes this cake delicious! You can count it as a vegetable ;)

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake with Buttermilk Icing - I Like Big Bundts
Pumpkin Spice Bundt with Buttermilk Icing
This cake got great reviews from those who made it and enjoyed it. Everyone needs a pumpkin bundt in their recipe box.

Persimmon Bundt Cake - I Like Big Bundts
Fuyu Persimmon Bundt
This one got me in the book, Cake Simple! Fuyu persimmons are at the farmer's market now (at least in California) and this cake is a favorite.

Brown Sugar and Chocolate Chip Bundt with Maple-Espresso Glaze - I Like Big Bundts
Brown Sugar and Chocolate Chip Bundt with Maple-Espresso Glaze
Brown sugar makes cakes moist and this one sure is! The maple espresso glaze is a perfect topping.

Classic Banana Bundt Cake - Food Librarian
Classic Banana Bundt
Always a winner. This recipe from Dorie Greenspan is delicious... and look for a twist on it tomorrow!

Orange-Ricotta Pound Cake with Marmalade Glaze

    Made the orange ricotta bundt today. I loved it and was pleasantly surprised at how light the texture of the cake is considering how dense the batter was! Yum :)

    That Orange Ricotta Bundt looks insane! I'm loving all the bundt love....just bought my very first bundt pan and I'm on a roll. Have already cranked out an Spiced Cider Bundt Cake with a Cinnamon-Cider Glaze (to-die for) and a Pumpkin Chocolate Bundt Cake for today's secret recipe club. They are just the prettiest cakes ever...and I swear their cool designs actually make them taste better too
