KIT KAT® BUNDT® CAKE



Kit Kat® Bundt® Cake image

I always have tons of Halloween candy from my kids and this is a great way to use up Kit Kats®. I served this at Thanksgiving for those who didn't want pie. Everybody loved this cake. Frosting will be like a syrup but will thicken as it cools.

CRANBERRY AND CORNMEAL CAKE WITH CARAMEL-WALNUT TOPPING SAUCE



Cranberry and Cornmeal Cake with Caramel-Walnut Topping Sauce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 1h12m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for the pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting the pan
1/2 cup yellow fine cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup orange zest (from 2 large oranges)
3/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
Caramel Walnut Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Measure 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture into a small bowl. Add the chopped cranberries and toss until coated. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the egg yolks and whole eggs, 1 at a time. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Using a spatula, gently fold in the cranberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake until the cake is golden brown, and a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut the cake into wedges, arrange on a serving platter and serve with the Caramel Walnut Sauce. (The cake can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight in a plastic container.)
  • In a medium saucepan, mix together the cream, brown sugar, and butter over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture thickens, about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the walnuts and sea salt, if using. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • To make sure the caramel sauce is smooth, stir it constantly while it is cooking.
  • Do not overbeat the cake batter. Overbeating can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.

Conclusion:

This Kit Kat Cranberry Caramel Cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tart cranberries, gooey caramel sauce, and crunchy Kit Kat bars is sure to please everyone. With its beautiful presentation and amazing taste, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
