Try It Thursday: Spice Bundt Cake

I'm sharing another tried and true recipe today!

This one is from a cake I made for my mom's birthday. 

We had been away for a wedding the night before, so I knew my parents wouldn't be back in town until later.

It's simple and easy and tastes delicious in the end!

Try It Thursday: Peanut Butter Bundt Cake

Today I'm back at it sharing with you another scrumptious recipe. 

Today I'm sharing...

Peanut Butter Bundt Cake

from Shay's book. 

I made this previously for my mother-in-law's birthday and then again for a church function.
Everyone was raving about it.
It tastes just like a peanut butter cookie!
So moist and peanut buttery!

Items Needed:

1 Yellow Cake Mix

2 Small Boxes of Vanilla Pudding

1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil

1 1/4 Cups Water

4 eggs

1 Cup Peanut Butter

I adjusted the icing recipe because it typically makes too much for us.
This is what I used.

Icing:

1/2 Cup Butter, Softened
1 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
2 Splashes of Milk
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter

Grease the pan.

Mix up all of the ingredients.

Pour into the pan.

Bake 45 minutes at 350

When it comes out, let it sit for 10 minutes in the pan. 

Flip over onto desired plate/dish.

Mix up the icing ingredients. 

Be careful not to add too much milk starting out.

Ice the cake.

Serve with a tall glass of milk.
What a great birthday cake!

Lemon Bundt Cake

I woke up on Memorial Day and was in need of something to take to a cookout that we had later in the day. 

The night before we played games with friends on the porch. 

It's great times like those that I cherish, but I couldn't make anything the night before. 

I got to thinking about what I had in the refrigerator and how many hours we had before we needed to leave. 

Earlier in the spring I made Shay's Lemon Bundt Cake. 

It was good, but I thought it was almost too lemony. 

So, I thought I would make her cake and add on a little fruit to offset the lemon taste. 

Items Needed:

1 Box Lemon Cake Mix

1 Small Box Instant Vanilla Pudding

1 Small Box Instant Lemon Pudding

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

1 Cup Water

4 Eggs

Mix together dry ingredients

Add in oil, water and eggs.

Mix together and pour into greased bundt cake.

Bake at 350 45 minutes

Remove from oven

Let stand 10 minutes in pan. 

Invert cake. 

Cool.

Icing:

1 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 TBSP. Lemon Juice

I ran out of lemon juice, so I improvised with milk. 

I mixed together an icing mixture of powdered sugar, milk and lemon juice. 

Drizzle over cake. 

Cut cake and place on platter. 

Quarter strawberries and garnish platter and slices of cake.
