PEAR SPICE BUNDT CAKE WITH WALNUT PRALINE TOPPING
Found this tasty adaptation of a circa 1992 Gourmet magazine recipe on www.joythebaker.com , a delightful blog up for an award for Best New Blog of 2009 on www.2009.bloggies.com . Give it a look & see whether you'd give her a vote (I did along with a vote for www.fark.com for the esteemed lifetime achievement award). She's got some tasty recipes for sure. Anyone resurrecting the much maligned American Bundt cake gets a hat tip from me anytime. I plan to make this & halve it immediately after cooling cake but before spooning on topping - will add topping to each half with the best looking one going IMMEDIATELY to dear neighbor's home as I strongly suspect this could become a main meal substitute if allowed to remain in toto in our house, LOL.

APPLE, PRALINE AND CREAM CHEESE BUNDT CAKE
Where to begin to describe this deliciousness! This apple cake has all the fall spices and the aroma coming from the kitchen was amazing.

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 14-cup bundt pan.
- 2. Start by toasting your pecans in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes or until fragrant. Be sure to toss half way through cooking time. Set aside when they are done.
- 3. Prepare filling: Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, vanilla, and flour and mix until smooth. Set aside.
- 4. Prepare cake: In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugars, canola oil, and applesauce. Add in the eggs, one by one. Stir in vanilla.
- 5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, spices, salt and baking soda.
- 6. Working in batches, add this to your wet mixture.
- 7. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in pecans and apples.
- 8. Baking: Place 2/3 of the batter into the bundt pan. Spoon in the cream cheese mixture and, using a paring knife, swirl around to incorporate evenly. Be sure to leave about an inch border, so that the cream cheese does not leak out while baking.
- 9. Place the remaining 1/3 of the batter on top.
- 10. Bake for 60 - 75 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- 11. Cool completely on a wire rack.

CHOCOLATE AND ZUCCHINI PRALINE BUNDT CAKE
Quite a different flavor combo, but this chocolate zucchini praline Bundt cake totally works. The cinnamon chocolate flavor is well balanced. Apples and zucchini give the cake a moist texture. Crunchy and sweet, the topping is quite tasty. It will be a treat for your family and friends who get a slice.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Cream butter, oil, and sugar. Beat in eggs and set aside.
- 2. Sift dry ingredients and add alternately with sour milk to creamed mixture.
- 3. Add zucchini and vanilla. Slowly mix in apple.
- 4. Grease a Bundt cake pan and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
- 5. Pour cake batter into prepared Bundt cake pan. Mix topping ingredients and spread evenly on the cake batter. Gently push the topping into the dough. When it bakes, less will fall off.
- 6. Bake for 55 minutes.
- 7. When done, loosen the cake from the pan with a butter knife. Invert the cake onto a cake plate. If you want the topping on the top, put a plate on top of the pan and flip it. Then, put a decorative plate on the flipped cake and flip again so the topping side is up.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache. Valrhona or Callebaut are excellent choices.
- Make sure the butter and cream are cold before making the ganache. This will help it set up properly.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Be careful not to overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before pouring the ganache over it. This will help the ganache set up properly.
- If you want to make the cake ahead of time, you can bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator and then pour the ganache over it.
Conclusion:
This praline bundt cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the ganache is rich and creamy. With a few simple tips, you can make this cake at home and impress your friends and family.
