FRANGELICO & FIG BUNDT CAKE #BUNDTBAKERS

Yield: 1 Bundt Cake

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!

I am super excited about this cake as it’s my first event / challenge since I have joined ‘Bundt Bakers’ that I get to share with you all! Since joining I have been obsessing over what type of bundt cake I should make given this month’s theme of ‘Boozy Bundt Cakes’. After much deliberation and going back and forth I decided to use Frangelico and Fig and this is the outcome.

The figs are simmered with Frangelico, vanilla bean and cinnamon to produce a wonderfully delicate infused cake batter than in turn bakes into a lovely and moist with a slightly chewy crust. The addition of more Frangelico in the glaze gives it that lovely kick without becoming overpowering. This is an absolute keeper of a receipe!

A big shout out to my new Bundt Baking friends and especially to Lauren Mitchell for hosting this month’s event.

It’s also a snap to make and can be thrown together at the last minute. Try and use the best quality maple syrup you can find and leave the skins on the hazelnuts after toasting.
