I’m all about baking for the Holidays. Who am I kidding, I love baking all the time, but especially during the holidays. Candy, Cookies, Bars and Cakes.

When it comes to cakes, I like to keep it simple. Who what’s to spend half a day in the kitchen trying to make a layer cake look perfect. If you’ve followed me at all, you know I stink at frosting a cake. I just have no patience. It’s why I love making Bundt cakes.

Drizzle that icing on and you have a gorgeous work of art.

And speaking of easy. Everyone loves a pretty cake plate but you don’t always have one, or if your cake is traveling to another location…Using a regular dinner plate just makes more sense. You can still give your cake a little height and drama.

Use an overturned smaller plate or even a bowl underneath the cake!

    My husband loves Red Velvet cake but I don’t love the work! This bundt cake looks much simpler than the 3 layer cake that I have made in the past ๐Ÿ™‚ So I am going to give it a try and see if it passes the test with hubby.
    Thanks for posting this recipe and also for the chance to win the blender!

      Many of the recipes are adapted from my Grandmother’s old, really old cookbooks, then some are original creations and others are inspired by things I see on the internet, in magazines, even on TV. Whenever appropriate, I try to give a source.
