  • ----
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
  • ----
  • Optional: Cream Cheese Glaze

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour bundt cake pan. In a large bowl with a wire whisk, combine first set of ingredients. In a small bowl, combine last set of ingredients. Hand whip until combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Carefully stir in nuts. Pour into prepared bundt cake pan. Bake Pumpkin Bundt Cake for 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove Pumpkin Bundt Cake from pan and finish cooling on rack.

Top cooled cake with Cream Cheese Glaze**.

Notes in the Margin:

* You may substitute any combination of those spices according to taste as long as they equal 3 teaspoons. Pumpkin Pie or Apple Pie Spice may also be substituted.
** I also topped my cake with a few toasted pecans. I always do this when I'm taking a cake some place and I'm not going to be there while it's eaten. This way people are alerted to the fact that there are nuts in the cake.

Vanilla
Nov 18th 2011, 10:32

Vanilla is the most popular flavoring in American baking. Here are several recipes made with this flavorful extract.

White Cake

Just think of a White Cake and you think of a vanilla cake. A really White Cake is made with only egg whites and clear vanilla, which is not a pure vanilla. Personally, I'd prefer to sacrifice color for flavor. Pure Vanilla is the best.

Ricotta Cake

1. Bacardi Rum Cake

2009 Bacardi Rum Cake Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com.2009 Bacardi Rum Cake Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com.

This is the most popular cake recipe on my site. Maybe because it's a tried-and-true recipe which makes the moistest cake. It's the one cake I know of that gets better as it ages. Although, most of the time it doesn't last very long. It's also the perfect cake for mailing. The rum acts as the perfect preservative. It freezes beautifully also.

2. Basic Yellow Cake

This is the cake recipe that you'll make over and over again. This Basic Yellow Cake Recipe is timeless.

3. Better Than S__ Cake

This cake is very creamy and extra sweet. I was able to make it with the ingredients I always keep on hand.

4. Molten Lava Cake

What could be better than a chocolate cake for dessert? How about a chocolate cake that is served warm with a river of chocolate running from it. Using dark chocolate makes this recipe for Molten Lava Cakes better than any you can get in a restaurant.

5. Fresh Lemon Pound Cake

This is my husband's favorite cake recipe. I think it's because he's not a big sweet eater, and the cream cheese frosting cuts down on the sweetness.

For a slightly different recipe, try this one for Raspberry Red Velvet Cake.

8. White Cake

2009 White Cake Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com2009 White Cake Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com

If it's not yellow, it's white? This is a splendid recipe that only uses egg whites to keep the cake white.

9. Pig Pickin' Cake a.k.a. Mandarin Orange Cake

2009 Pig Pickin' Cake Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com2009 Pig Pickin' Cake Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com

It's more than the name that makes this recipe so popular. It's the combination of creaminess and easy-to-bake that does it for most.

10. German Chocolate Cake

All that coconut and toasted nuts are what make this cake taste so good. It's pretty to look at too.
