TWD: Nutty, Chocolaty, Swirly Sour Cream Cake



Jennifer of Cooking for Comfort chose Nutty, Chocolaty, Swirly Sour Cream Bundt Cake on page 182 of Baking. You can find the recipe on her blog or in the book :)



After all the horror stories I read about people's cakes sticking like crazy to their (very well greased and floured) Bundt pans, I decided to take the safe route and to make mine in a 9" springform pan instead of a Bundt pan. The cinnamonny, nutty swirl in this cake was absolutely delicious. I think I might even leave out the chocolate chips the next time, so as not to detract from the amazing swirl!

Thankfully, I didn't have any trouble with sticking. The cake looks great. Next time...extra cinnamon!

This one was good, wasn't it? I didn't have trouble with it sticking, but I didn't expose my swirl.

Yours looks so nice and moist! I'm glad to hear a regular pan worked... way to improvise.

I almost used a springform. Glad to know it looks just as lovely. We all loved the taste of this cake. Happy you did too.

Jacqueline said...

I had to come visit with a blog name like yours! Lovely. This looks fabulous. I also believe in a sugar filled day - none of this going sugar free for the New Year!

I was a big nerd spraying Pam excessively so mine didn't stick...how crazy is it that so many of them stuck to the pan??!!!

I really liked this cake and with minis I can taste and freeze. Mine didn't stick at all and I was so glad.

Nice to know it worked in the springform. Swirl looks just right.
