This delicious Bundt cake recipe is loaded with sour cream, almonds, amaretto and is topped off with a homemade caramel sauce for an unbelievable flavor.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Bob’s Red Mill. The opinions and text are all mine.

Man do I love this… I know I don’t make them often, but every day I get a little bliss. It starts at about 5:30 in the morning and it lasts for about 90 minutes. It’s 90 minutes of silence, still, quietness before the day starts.

I usually do a little reading in the morning, reflecting, some work, all while drinking coffee and if I’m lucky enough a slice of Bundt cake. Don’t get me wrong I love seeing my family when they wake up, but that little bit of me time with a big hot black coffee and a delicious slice of this homemade sour cream cake is just glorious!

Some people may think of Bundt cakes as a dessert, but to me it’s a sweet breakfast treat!

INGREDIENTS

This is incredibly easy to make, in fact they are essentially pound cakes. I decided with this Bundt cake recipe to add a few things to it to help flavor it and assist in making it moist and delicious.

Adding sour cream to it significantly helps to moisten it up and provide some interesting flavor profiles.

A huge part to the success of this lies in the flour you use. I’m a Bob’s Red Mill guy, and their pastry flour is amazing! It is jam packed with protein making it ideal for cake making. Honestly, it’s the best!

The other flour I used was Bob’s Red Mill Almond flour because I wanted to add in some amazing almond flavor to compliment the caramel that is going on top. Yeah, it’s good!

I also used a bit of Amaretto to help further push that almond agenda :-).

HOW TO MAKE IT

Making this cake all starts with creaming together your fat and sugar.
Once the butter is a little light and fluffy, which usually takes about 5 minutes or so, you then add in 1 egg at a time until it’s mixed.
While all those delicious things are mixing add your dry ingredients to a bowl and mix, and then you alternate your dry ingredients with the remaining wet ingredients ending with wet.

BUNDT CAKE PROCEDURES

Step 1: Cream together butter and sugars.
Step 2: Add in 1 egg at a time until combined.
Step 3: Mix together dry ingredients in a bowl.
Step 4: Alternate adding dry ingredients and wet ingredients into the creamed butter and sugar ending with wet ingredients.
Step 5: Transfer the batter to a Bundt cake and bake.
Step 6: Make your caramel sauce.
Step 7: Pour the caramel sauce over top of the cooled cake and serve.

HOMEMADE CARAMEL SAUCE

Now because I need a runnier caramel sauce to pour over the top, we’re going to add in some evaporated milk. I know, it sounds weird but it’s also going to help stabilized it a little bit. Homemade caramel is super easy to make in general.

Homemade caramel consists of brown sugar, butter and heavy cream, that’s it. In a simpler form sugar and butter but man I’ve burned that version way too many times.

HOW TO SERVE IT

There’s not much to serving this up, other than pouring the homemade caramel sauce over top. Just simply slice and serve and you are good to go!
