             Pumpkin Buttermilk Bundt Cake
    
     So, this last weekend I attended the Gluten Free Expo in our area, it's always great to see and taste the new products that are being developed each year.  This year was a bonus, I was able to take my newly diagnosed niece with myself, and my good sport of a daughter.  Some things are still super nasty tasting, and others just get better tasting all the time; I really do feel bad for the poor people who were diagnosed years and years ago! Thank goodness(and sadly)  Celiacs and gluten intolerance have become much more common and talked about!!  If you are able to attend a Gluten Free Expo in your area, go, you'll be happy you did!
     Now onto this most delicious cake...so I was scouring Pinterest as usual, and I decided it was time to master a Bundt Cake!  Thanksgiving and Christmas are both coming up soon, and I know a lot of people really don't like Pumpkin Pie (also not my favorite) and we GF must supply desserts for these up coming Holiday events; who said you have to have a pie?!  If you are like me and don't love pie, try this cake, IT IS TO DIE FOR!!!! I took it to my Bunko group, and didn't tell anyone I made it, everyone asked who made the DELICIOUS cake!  I was so excited when I got to tell everyone it was me!!   Try this the Brown Butter Icing, it will have you licking the plate!! 
              Happy Baking, Natalie

Ingredients:
Adapted from The Baker Chick
-3/4 softened butter
-3/4 sugar
-1/2 cup brown sugar
-1 tsp vanilla
-3 large eggs
-1 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
-3/4 cup Buttermilk
-1/4 tsp Cloves
-2 tsp Cinnamon ( I used 1 1/2 tsp)
-2 1/4 cups Pamela's Bread Flour mix
-2 tsp Baking soda
-2 tsp Baking powder

Browned Butter Icing ingredients-
-1/2 cup butter
-2 cups powdered sugar
-2 tsp vanilla
-2-4 tsp milk


How to:
-First mix all of the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and set aside.
-Next in a mixer or large bowl, add your butter, sugar and brown sugar and beat until fluffy. 
-Then add your vanilla, eggs, pumpkin, buttermilk and mix on medium until they are all incorporated and smooth, then scrape the sides .
-Lastly add in the dry mixture slowly until it is all mixed in, and the flour is not visible. 
For the icing-
-In a sauce pan add the butter and turn it to medium, stir until it starts to lightly brown. Turn off the heat.
- Next add the vanilla, stir in the powdered sugar, then add milk as needed. 
-Now add to the cake while the icing is WARM, then serve and enjoy!!!

     Preheat oven 350 degrees, spray with Pam, then I dusted mine with flour too. Use a 10 inch Bundt pan. Spread it out evenly in the pan. Bake on the center rack for 60-63 min, or until a toothpick comes out clean. I cooled mine on a cooling rack for a hour, then tipped it out. 

***These are some of my VERY favorite treats in the world!!! I know shocking, I don't just eat dessert...I eat savory foods too!! Asian food is my most favorite of any food, and these are so good, I have to fight my 14 yr. old Gluten eating son for these!!! ***

                  Mini Banana Bundt Cakes

     I usually love Summer so much, but it has been run, run, run since the second the kids walked out the door from and even before! I thought I was busy when I had little kids, but dang, teenagers are running me ragged, my son just headed to Scout Camp and my daughter is heading to Girls Camp.   My blog has suffered a bit,  between working two jobs, trying to perfect some new recipes that are being SUPER naughty and do not want to turn out awesome!! They taste great but are having Volcano issues, I think I should have it all figured out next week, it's about time, I've run out of patience!!!  I hope you are all having a Great week!  Happy Baking, Natalie

Ingredients:Adapted from Mom foodie
-1 cup butter softened
-1 1/2 cups sugar
-1/4 tsp salt
-2 tsp vanilla
-1tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
-1 cup bananas smashed
-4 large eggs
-1/2 cup buttermilk

-2 1/4 cups Pamela's Bread flour 

How to:
-First beat the butter and sugar together until they are nice and fluffy, then add the salt, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix together.
-Then add the bananas and eggs and mix well, scrape the sides.
-Next add the Buttermilk, mix in thoroughly, then add the flour and mix it well and scraped down, and make sure the flour is all incorporated.  

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, spray them with Pam spray, bake for 22-25 minutes(check with a toothpick).  This is the size of Bundt pan I used. Fill them 1/2 full.  When they are done, let them cool for 20 minutes on a cooling rack, then turn them over and dump them out. You can use a bigger one, I just didn't have one on hand, if you do it will most likely take longer to cook(check with a toothpick, make sure it comes out clean)

I put a little glaze on mine when I was done, just to make it look pretty and finished.
-milk
-powdered sugar
-vanilla
Just pour some powdered sugar in a bowl and add a little milk until you like the consistency, and add a little vanilla.
