The Best Bundt Cake. Period.

A lady in my neighborhood made this for a church activity and I immiately fell in love! I am a succor for any kind of Bundt cake! She told me where she got the receipe: www.thepioneerwoman.com


Ingredients:
5 whole eggs
1 package fo white or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup oil
1 package (small) instant vanilla pudding
1 cup half and half
1 t. almond extract
2 T sugar
2 T cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
Beat eggs well until foamy. Add all remaining ingredients, except for the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed. Prepare a bundt pan with spray oil and coat the pan with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Pour batter into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
To get cake our of the pain in one piece, allow it to cook for only 3-5 minutes. Then invert the bundt pan onto a plate and allow to cool and for the cake to slide out of the pan.

The recipe didn't have a frosting to go with it. I made a simple powdered sugar and water frosting. At the church activity, they made homemade whipped cream and put it on top of each slice.

Bunny Cakes

It has been a tradition in our family to have Bunny Cake for Easter. It just wouldn't be the same without it!! My mom decided 2 or 3 years ago that we all needed to know how to make them so now we get together every year to make them. They turn out SOOO cute!
Make a cake mix of your choice. Morgan and I (Krista) split a chocolate cake and yellow cake so our cakes would have both flavors. Make them in 9 inch round pans. When cooled down, cut the cakes in half and place them up against each other, with the flat part down. See picture above. Put frosting in the middle of the halfs so they stay together and on the bottom so it stays on the pan or cake plate.
Now frost and decorate anyway you want!
We cut the ears out of paper and color toothpicks black for the wiskers. We use those hostess cakes that are covered in marshmallow and coconut for the tail.
Enjoy!!
Happy Easter!
