Cake… Underbaked.
-
At first glance this looks like a really good Maple Sour Cream Bundt Cake with Maple Icing, doesn’t it? Yeah well, it’s not. Good, that is.
It IS the cake you thought it looked like… see the wicked layer of toasted nuts & maple sugar in the middle of the cake? See the oozing, thick, rich maple icing flowing seductively over the top & sides of the maple-scented cake? See the UNDERBAKED LAYER NEAR THE TOPOF THE CAKE? (Yes, in caps to denote me yelling.)
G-damn it.
(Word to the wise [so not me]: stick your cake tester all the way into the Bundt pan when checking for doneness. It’s not done when you stick it in 2/3 of the way and then giddily think you’ve saved seven minutes off the baking time just because it seems done.)
(Honest admission: I saved the bottom [baked] half of the cake- in ragged hand-ripped chunks- for The Husband, who I will feed it to in a bowl with ice cream as though it was meant to be served in a “crumbly” fashion. Shhh.)
