    How fun and pretty is this! I love a bundy cake. Something about the way the hole in the center pools all the glaze in a swimming pool of yumminess! I can’t wait to get a new bundt pan to make this and maybe a mini bundt pan too!

      Thank you Jennifer! I don’t use my bundt pan that much, but you’re right that I just love how the center collects all of the yummy glazes and frosting!

    Julie- perfect timing!
    I just bought buttermilk for another recipe and the store only had a HUGE carton. I am not a fan of pouring myself a tall glass of buttermilk so this cake is a perfect rescue! Thank you!
    Your cake looks so moist and delicious- can’t wait to get baking!

      Thank you Lily! It was in the 90’s this week and even though I don’t like the cold, I’m done with those temps! We were just in Colorado and their leaves are starting to change. They’re ahead of us. Have a wonderful weekend!

    I’m also bummed about summer being over – I never feel like I ate enough peaches to properly celebrate the season! But I love fall so I’m excited about that…especially because it brings with it treats like these! This cake looks delicious, and your styling is gorgeous as well!

      Thank you Mara! I’m with you, I just hate the produce kicking up it’s heels too. The peaches right now are amazing but I thin that’s only going to last a short time. Enjoy your weekend!

      Thank you, Michelle! I had a pan that was a pain in my backside because everything stuck to it. My mother-in-law gave me an old one and it works like a charm.

    Ahhh the sounds and scents of Autumn. You’ve captured it beautifully in this pumpkin spice cake, the buttermilk had to have added extra moistness to the cake. Lovely warm images and ever so tempting Julie.

    You are so right, bundt cakes just scream fancy. Love this cake, it looks moist and delicious. I love the warm spicing that comes with Fall and winter baking and of course pumpkin and apples which go so well with them.
