Maybe this is really stupid but why not call the lady organizing the even and ask if it can be fancy looking regular (or round pan) cakes? If that's your specialty, that's the way to go!

If you have the Quick & Kosher cookbook, her one-bowl chocolate Bundt cake is amazing! If you want the recipe, let me know.

Orange Nut Bundt Cake (D/P, TNT)

Serves: 12 to 16

1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 cups flour plus 1 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup chocolate syrup (add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla)
Maraschino cherries, drained
Walnuts, halved

Have all ingredients at room temperature.

Cream butter and sugar thoroughly. Add eggs; beat well after each addition.

Sift all dry ingredients 2 times. Alternate juice and vanilla and flour mixture.

Prepare greased (or sprayed) Bundt pan; alternately place drained cherries and nuts in each groove of the pan.

Put 2/3 of batter into pan. Add syrup and vanilla to remaining batter. Pour the chocolate mixture over the top of cake and marble it with a knife.

Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Cover pan with aluminum foil loosely. Bake additional 15 to 20 minutes. Test to see if done. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before removing from pan.

Poster's Notes:
Here is my mother's recipe for a bundt cake. She names it Neil's Bundt cake since my brother Neil always asks her to make it when he visits and when she goes to visit him. As a child it was the only thing he ever asked her to make. It really is a very good cake. I think the original recipe called for milk and butter but she always used orange juice and margarine so it would be pareve.

Chocolate Rum Bundt Cake (D, TNT)
Source: Harriet Kahn
Serves: About 8

1 package yellow cake mix
1 package chocolate instant pudding
1 cup chocolate chips
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup rum
1 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.

Put all ingredients in a large bowl. Using a mixer, beat on medium speed 7 to 10 minutes. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake 58 minutes. Cool on a rack for 7 minutes, and then turn out onto a rack and cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Poster's Notes:
I use more than 1 cup of chocolate chips. I leave out the chocolate chips until the last minute of mixing so that they don't get ground into tiny bits.

Tunnel of Fudge Cake (D, TNT)
Source: Pillsbury Bake Off, 1966
Serves: 16

Cake:
1-3/4 cups sugar
1-3/4 cups margarine or butter, softened
6 eggs
2 cups powdered sugar
2-1/4 cups all-purpose or unbleached flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups walnuts, chopped

Glaze:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
4 to 6 tsp. milk

Make Cake:
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan or 10" tube pan.

In large bowl, combine sugar and margarine; beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar; blend well.

By hand, stir in flour and remaining cake ingredients until well blended. Spoon batter into greased and floured pan; spread evenly.

Bake at 350°F for 45 to 50 minutes or until top is set and edges are beginning to pull away from sides of pan. Cool upright in pan on wire rack 1-1/2 hours. Invert onto serving plate; cool at least 2 hours.

Make Glaze and Assembly:
In small bowl, combine all glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Spoon over top of cake, allowing some to run down sides. Store tightly covered.

High Altitude Instructions (Above 3500 Feet): Increase flour to 2-1/4 cups plus 3 tbsp. Bake as directed above.

Poster's Notes:
Nuts are essential for the success of this recipe. Since this cake has a soft filling, an ordinary doneness test cannot be used. Accurate oven temperature and baking times are essential.

Author's Note: This recipe, arguably the recipe most closely identified with the Bake-Off® Contest, mysteriously develops a "tunnel of fudge" filling as it bakes. Don't scrimp on the nuts, or it won't work! - Ella Rita Helfrich. Houston, Texas 17th Bake-Off Contest, 1966.

I always write this in any thread on bundt cakes, but I will do it again anyway. For a regular recipe to turn out well in a bundt pan, reduce the oven temperature 25 degrees and increase the baking time by 10 to 15 minutes. This will help ensure your cake doesn't stick to the pan or turn out raw in the middle.

In the Kosher Palette (?) there is an awesome blueberry bundt cake. The thing is that you need blueberry preserves, which may not be a staple in many homes.

I think the flavor develops more after sitting overnight so the sooner you make it the better although I freeze it also and serve later. OK, here goes:

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 cups sugar
1 cup dark cocoa (Jewish brands in boxes are best)
4 eggs
1 tsp. instant coffee dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water (don't worry you won't taste it)
1 3/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups oil
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients (you can separate dry from wet or just do it the lazy way like me) together in a large bowl. Bake in a 350 oven until the center comes out dry (time will depend on your pan).

My favorite frosting is a mixture of marshmallow cream, margarine, conf. sugar, and vanilla extract. I tint it pink with red food coloring and put on lots of colored sprinkles for the kids. Chocolate frosting would work well too.

It's also known as a tube cake. Think of it as a large ring or donut shaped with a hole in the center. Some bundts are very simple and some have elegant designs. It's just a way of turning a simple sheet cake into a fancier look.
