Sour Cream Bundt Coffee Cake & Kenwood Chef Kitchen Machine

The holidays are approaching and I know every home cook would love to have a mixer!  Not just any mixer though, how about a Kenwood Chef Kitchen Machine?  This little mixer is amazing!  I used it for the past month and it has handled all of my recipes without a problem.  

Pineapple & Coconut Bundt Cake

Pineapple & Coconut Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese frosting and toasted coconut.

My husband loves coconut so he's always asking me to make something with it.  I love pineapple so I thought the two would make a perfect combination.  This recipe doesn't call for any butter or oil, however the addition of the pineapple juice makes the cake moist and dense.  I topped it off with a cream cheese frosting that I added while the cake was still warm so it seeps down into the cake as well.  Then sprinkle on some toasted coconut for a pretty garnish.  This cake uses everyday ingredients found in your pantry and you can mix it up in one bowl.  This is definitely a simple and delicious cake!

Lemon Sour Cream Pound Cake

Lemon and Sour Cream meld together perfectly in this pound cake and it's topped off with a tangy glaze! 

 

  

My favorite cake is my cream cheese pound cake!  It's so simple, and the taste is so delicious.  It has been one of the most popular recipes on the site and several people requested a lemon one.  Instead of making it with cream cheese I decided to opt for sour cream.  I think it brings that extra tang to it!  I did make a lemon glaze for it, however half of the family likes it with it while the other half preferred it without.  I like it without because I like the simplicity of the cake...a rich and delicious pound cake with a hint of lemon.   I'll put it on the recipe and you can decide for yourself if you want to make it or not...enjoy!

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

 

Chocolate and peanut butter are one of my favorite flavor combinations!  I've made Inside Out Peanut Butter Cup, Oh My Peanut Butter Pie, Buckeye Brownie Bites, Hidden Treasure Cookies and now this decedent Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake.  I poured on a chocolate glaze and drizzled on some peanut butter icing to give it that extra pop...plus it makes it look pretty too.  I refrigerated the cake and I must say, it was even better the next day!
