Pink Lemonade & Nutella Bundt Cakes

 

 

I attended a very special baby shower today for my friend Nicole.  I am sharing my cake recipes with the wonderful women I met today and my regular blog readers!

 

First is the pink lemonade bundt cake - great pink color to celebrate Nicole's soon to arrive baby girl!

 

Cake recipe:

1 box of white cake mix

2 small boxes of instant lemon pudding

1/2 cup of veggie oil

1 1/4 cups thawed pink lemonade concentrate (from the freezer section!)

4 eggs

Mix and bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 (until your cake tester comes out clean).

 

Icing recipe:

1 cup unsalted butter - softened to room temperature

4 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup pink lemonade

3-5 drops red food coloring

Mix all the above.

 

Next is the Nutella Bundt Cake

Cake recipe:

1 box of chocolate cake mix

2 small boxes of instant chocolate pudding

1/2 cup of veggie oil

1 1/4 cups water

4 eggs

3/4 cup Nutella

Mix all of the ingredients together (except Nutella) with an electric mixer.  Then add the Nutella and mix until blended.  Bake for 45-50 min at 350. 

 

Icing recipe:

1 cup unsalted butter - room temperature

2 cups powdered sugar

2/3 cup Nutella

Mix the first two ingredients on low until blended then add Nutella and beat on medium for 2 min. 

Then add -

1 teas vanilla

pinch of Kosher salt

2 T. heavy whipping cream

Mix for 1 more minute.

 

One more hint - I have found that coconut oil works fabulously to have a bundt cake slide right out of the pan!  I rub a teaspoon or two of coconut oil all over the inside of the bundt pan making sure to get into all the groves. 

 

These bundt cake recipes were originally from Mix and Match Mama blog - to see her blog click here.  Please note that I changed the icing recipes based on some trial and error, so they were different from the originals.

 

What a fun day and I can't wait for Nicole's baby to arrive next month!
