So, today is National Bundt Day. I’m still a bit unclear as to whether this day is for the cake or the pan, but I figure they’re a package deal. I do love a Bundt cake. I like that they are usually self-contained sweet satisfaction. There’s no icing to toil with making or spreading. Mix it, bake it, and eat it. That is simplicity at its finest.
To celebrate this day, who better to go to for a recipe than Nordic Ware themselves? They are, after all, the inventors of the Bundt pan. I pulled Bundt Classics from my cookbook shelf and decided to make this wonderful cinnamon cake.
There aren’t many recipes easier than this one. The added bonus is that the appearance of it makes it seem much more difficult than it really is. My only word of caution is to be sure your Bundt pan is very well greased/sprayed. This one likes to hang on to the pan a bit.
This is a simple and delicious cake that would be perfect not only for dessert but as a morning snack. It is wonderfully moist and just sweet enough not to be heavy. I think mini-versions of these would be great for holiday gifts, as well.

Wow, this sounds great! Cinnamon is such a nice comforting seasonal spice, and I love cakes that aren’t too sweet. There’s nothing more decadent than cake for breakfast!

I love bundt cakes - a piece with a cup of coffee is the ultimate breakfast or snack. And that’s a BEAUTIFUL picture, too!
