Have I got your attention yet?
I decorated it for Sunday dinner and also for spring or Easter. It would be beautiful on a brunch table on a pretty cake pedestal.
Bundt Cakes are so versatile and can be decorated in so many ways. There are a variety of bundt pans you buy to create different looks from the same recipe.
I created this recipe from a store bought pound cake mix and then added ingredients to it to make it simple but delicious. Pound cake holds up a little better in the bundt pan since you need to get it out of the pan in one piece.

The fun thing about bundt cakes is you can add something into the middle of the recipe, so you get a surprise when you cut into it, or you can add something fun in the middle hole after its baked when on display, to create some pizzazz and fit any season or holiday. You can also add some lemon zest or lemon shavings to the top of the cake for added flavor.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the amount of filling works with the pan you use. This may take some trial and error. When choosing pans, read what capacity it holds and make sure your recipe fills that amount or choose a smaller pan. You can use a measuring cup of water and fill until 1 1/4″ to the rim and use that amount for how much batter you will need.
