Wow! It is almost Christmas and we here in Ohio are making merry the best we can, despite the autumn weather and lack of snow. But if we are wanting snow really bad, we can whip up this Bundt cake and pummel it with enough sugar to make a snowman.

This is the second cake I have made with the Bundt Bakers group. We make cakes every month based on a theme with the one commonality that they all be Bundts. Having enjoyed Bundt cakes since I was a kid, this is no problem. But since I got out of the habit of making cakes very often, I do enjoy the group as it will guarantee you, my dear readers, at least one new and delicious cake recipe per month.
And this cake was made in my trusty Bundt pan which I have had for about 30-35 years now, and as you can see, it still does a fine job. So though you may see cakes in different kinds of pans off and on, this one is most traditional for me.
This would go great as a base for a shortcake or other fruit compote topping. It has a mild spicing and is very much poundcake-like in flavor. You could opt to put a glaze on this, but I did not as I want to serve it with fruit and whipped cream. But to each their own. A good glaze for this would be powdered sugar with a touch of rum extract and just enough milk droplets to whisk into a drizzling consistency. However you make yours, I hope you enjoy and have the best holiday season ever, no matter which holiday you celebrate!
Merry Christmas!
