Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the maple glaze over the top, letting it run down the sides of the cake. For an added touch, sprinkle some extra chopped bacon pieces on top of the glaze.
Your Maple-Bacon Bundt Cake is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it as a dessert for your fall gatherings or as a special treat with your afternoon coffee. The combination of sweet maple syrup and savory bacon creates a unique flavor
Fall is a season that brings a rich array of flavors and ingredients, perfect for creating warm and comforting dishes. One such delightful treat is the Maple-Bacon Bundt Cake
To create the perfect Maple-Bacon Bundt Cake, you’ll need a mix of staple baking ingredients and some special additions. Essential ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, and salt.
The first step is to prepare the bacon. Fry or bake the bacon until it’s crispy, then let it cool before chopping it into small pieces. The crispiness of the bacon is crucial as it adds a delightful texture contrast to the moist cake
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly mix in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Properly preparing your Bundt pan is crucial to ensure the cake releases easily after baking. Grease the pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, making sure to cover all the nooks and crannies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. This initial cooling period helps the cake set and makes it easier to remove from the pan
While the cake is cooling, prepare the maple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and a splash of milk or cream until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable
