Sue Moran's Buttermilk Doughnut Bundt

Baking a good cake is always such a pleasure! I knew from the moment I saw Sue Moran's latest Bundt cake over on her blog, The View From Great Island that I would be making it for my little church's Sunday fellowship hour. So, that's just what I did this past Saturday.

Orange Creamsicle Bundt Cake

I'm off to deliver a beautiful fresh citrus treat to the little church for a fund-raising dinner that will be held this evening ... but first, I must blog this cake! It's an orange yogurt cake - made with three small containers of whipped orange creme yogurt. It also has a healthy amount of orange zest and orange juice in the batter, a froth of egg white meringue turned in to fluff the batter up, and tons of sugar and butter - not to mention all those egg yolks! Of course, this makes for a bright yellow cake that has a crumb like a pound cake.

Bourbon-Chocolate Bundt Cake with Hard Sauce Glaze

The teapot comes out late every afternoon, especially in the wintertime and when it does, there needs to be a little sweet something for SB to have with his hot cuppa. Today's sweet something is this lovely cake - the boozy bourbon and chocolate smells when baking have been just incredible. It was difficult to let it cool before drizzling on the hard sauce, but we managed. We ARE the souls of discipline and disgression - ahem.
