I really like Bundt cakes. If I’m making a cake, odds are it’s a Bundt. I think it comes from my poor frosting skills. I am so bad at that. Anyway, I came across this recipe the other day while browsing Nestle’s recipe site. It actually has one of those contrived names that usually turn me off a recipe, so I’ve renamed it for the sake of my own preference.
This makes a lot of batter. I filled my Bundt pan pretty full and it almost overflowed. Luckily, it didn’t become a catastrophe, and instead I got a beautiful, really tall cake. There is a glaze for the cake, too, but I skipped it. The cake is good enough without it, but I’m sure the glaze would be delicious.

The height is fantastic – I noticed that before you mentioned it! Lovely.

This is not really related to this recipe. Just found your site by accident & wondered if you or someone out there might be able to help me. Halloween nite I was watching the food network channel & during the commercial break a little recipe “blerp” came on that started talking about making a bundt cake in layers with what looked like chocolate chips & peanut butter chips in the middle. Believe there were 3 layers. Batter, then chips & so on. Then you mixed together some kind of milk or white substance – not sure if it was evap milk or sweet cond milk, brown sugar & not sure what else? And microwaved it. When cake was cooled you had a caramel glaze to put on top. I had the TV turned down to where I almost couldn’t hear it. I can remember the announcer saying to go to foodnetwork.com/GE for the recipe. I even wrote it down. Sure I probably heard wrong. But little letters also came swirling by that spelled out “food bytes” or food byte. Not really positive on that now either. I’ve spent more hours than I care to admit trying to find that recipe!!!! It sounded & looked so good! I’ve tried every kind of “verbage” I can think of & just cannot find it. I’m about ready to write a letter to foodnetwork!:) Just wondered if you’d ever seen anything similar to this or have heard of it?? I know they used two different kind of baking chips. So, the lighter one could have been butterscotch too, for all I know. But if you or anyone out there saw this, knows the name of the recipe or has a copy, I would be so very grateful. Not really that big a deal if you or no one does either. Just thought I’d take a chance & ask.
Thank you so much,
