A Bundt® cake is great for almost any occasion whether it be a holiday, wedding, or just a complementary dessert to go with your favorite meal. For years Nordic Ware, a leader in residential kitchen equipment, has been making great Bundt® pans in all shapes and sizes.
Valentine’s Day is coming up and I happened to find a great recipea on making a Rose Bundt® for that special someone in your life:
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream (4 ounces)
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease Rose Bundt pan. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Mix milk and sour cream in a small bowl.
2.Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low, and add flour mixture, alternating with milk mixture, ending with flour. Spoon batter into pan. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. Invert cake.
If I may make a suggestion, you could also think about garnishing the cake with a strawberry in the middle. You could even try a chocolate glaze over the cake to make for a richer, chocolaty flavor. Chocolate, strawberries, and roses. Everything about this cake spells out Valentine’s Day, and it makes for a great dessert that you and your loved one can both share and enjoy.
We here at J.E.S. Restaurant Equipment have everything you need to make this Valentine’s Day special.
