This surprisingly savory Bundt cake is not a Bundt cake at all, but a stromboli filled with meat and cheese.

Stromboli Bundt Cake

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

I know you are looking at the title of this recipe and quizzically scratching your head. Stromboli. Bundt cake? But aren’t Bundt cakes delicious sweet desserts?

Usually, they are.

It makes me think of the  party line I often give a waiter or waitress when they inquire if I’ll be having dessert, especially after flavorful dishes such as pizza, calzone, or….stromboli. “That *was* my dessert!” I often reply with a smile. And they smile right back.

And this is the kind of recipe that makes me feel like a *real* food blogger. I have always respected bloggers for trying new things and sharing those experiences, sometimes even when they didn’t turn out the way they expected. And to be true, I have never even remotely made something like this. Stromboli yes, but not as a Bundt cake. So I wasn’t totally sure how things were going to turn out.

I’d seen  a couple recipes for baking savory Bundts online, and I followed their lead in baking temperature and time. This wasn’t something that was going to bake as quickly as a pizza. And I was really afraid for the interior of this and how the dough would turn out, since it has been rolled like a jelly roll. I thought of certain pies I have made in the past where the crust went soggyville. I was hoping this would not be the same. And it was beautiful as it baked, and the aroma was wonderful. Then time to cut the cake….

Oh it was so beautiful inside! Even more than I dared hope. And the flavor was good and the stuffing/dough not soggy. I outdid myself with this one.

So as part of this month’s theme for savory Bundt cakes with the Bundt Bakers group, I think I passed the test and came through the fire unscathed. And now that I know that I can do this, other ideas come to mind about different things that may well be done. Even in a Bundt pan.

So have fun and try this- it would be fabulous for a teenager’s birthday party celebration. And be sure to browse the other savory Bundts below from the Bundt Baker’s group. They are Bundtastic!

Until next time-
