OLD-FASHIONED DOUGHNUT BUNDT CAKE



Old-Fashioned Doughnut Bundt Cake image

This simple vanilla Bundt cake has plenty of freshly grated nutmeg to nod to the flavor of old-fashioned doughnuts. But since it's baked rather than fried, it also gets a generous coating of melted butter while it's still warm to give it some of that doughnut richness. Then it's coated in cinnamon-sugar. It's neither a doughnut nor a cake - it's both. It's delicious right after it's made, but it tastes even more like an old-fashioned doughnut after sitting overnight. Store it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus 1/2 cup/115 grams, melted, for finishing
1 1/2 cups/300 grams plus 2/3 cup/135 grams granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups/445 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/240 milliliters buttermilk
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 10- or 12-cup Bundt pan, taking care to get into all the grooves of the pan.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream 1 cup/225 grams room-temperature butter and 1 1/2 cups/300 grams sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated, scraping the mixing bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine. Add half of the flour mixture to the mixer and mix on low speed until incorporated. With the mixer running, add the buttermilk in a slow, steady stream and mix until combined. Add the remaining flour and mix until fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl well to be sure the batter is well combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan heavily on the counter a few times to help even out the batter and remove air pockets. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then flip the pan onto a cooling rack set inside a baking sheet. Tap the pan heavily onto the rack. The cake should easily release. If it doesn't, use a small offset spatula to gently run around the edges of the pan to help release, then tap it again onto the rack.
  • In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2/3 cup/135 grams sugar with the cinnamon to combine. Brush the warm cake all over with melted butter, then spoon cinnamon sugar over the cake. Brush any bare areas with the melted butter and reuse any cinnamon sugar that falls onto the baking sheet below the rack, using your hands to gently press it into the surface of the cake to help it stick. The idea is to get the cake fully coated all over with cinnamon sugar. Let the cake cool completely before serving.

1/2 lb unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 cups cake flour (minus 1 tablespoon)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sour cream
3/4 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts
3/4 cup shredded coconut
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon Frangelico liqueur (or 1 teaspoon almond extract)
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325ºF and set oven rack in middle level.
  • Butter and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
  • Beat the butter with the sugar and vanilla until light; about 4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking soda, 1 Tablespoon cocoa, cinnamon and salt and stir well to mix.
  • Combine the hazelnuts and coconut and add a tablespoon of the flour mixture and rub between palms of hands to coat well.
  • Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream to the butter and egg mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Stir in the hazelnuts and coconut.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth top of batter.
  • Bake the cake about 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the batter comes out clean.
  • Cool on a rack for about 15 minutes, then invert a rack on the pan and invert to remove the cake.
  • Finish cooling completely at room temperature.
  • Mix the 1 cup of Confectioners sugar with the Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur or almond extract and enough water to make an icing that can be drizzled on the cake; divide the mixture in half and add the 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to one half of the mixture (Add additional water to the cocoa mixture if the addition of cocoa made it too thick to drizzle).
  • Drizzle alternately the white and brown icings over the cake; let the icing set and dust the cake with additional powdered sugar (Will look like an avalanche on a snow covered mountain).
  • If you have a real sweet tooth, you can serve the cake with a scoop of chocolate chip ice-cream which is nice on a warm summers day; on a cool day or Winter Holiday you might use a dollop of sweetened whipped cream flavored with the Frangelico Liqueur.

Rhubarb Bundt Cake image

A swirl of rhubarb jam graces the center of this vanilla-y Bundt cake. This is one of those cakes that keeps well for several days, and may even taste better on the 2nd or 3rd day after baking.

Provided by Kim

Categories     Rhubarb Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups finely chopped rhubarb
½ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ¾ cups white sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ cups buttermilk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until rhubarb has broken down and mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Place mixture into a heat-safe bowl and place into the refrigerator to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
  • Cream butter, oil, and sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture for another 3 minutes on medium-high speed until batter has lightened in color. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts. Add in half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour in buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt® pan and smooth into an even layer. Remove rhubarb jam from fridge, and carefully spoon over the batter. Place dollops of remaining batter over the jam, and gently smooth into an even layer; taking care to cover the jam completely.
  • Place pan into preheated oven and bake until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 30 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.
