Baked Sunday Mornings: Vanilla Bean Malt Cake

August 10, 2014 by susanelester 11 Comments

I used Bourbon instead of Vanilla in the Glaze.

This week’s Baked Sunday Mornings challenge is for Vanilla Bean Malt Cake.  Matt and Renato describe this as a great snacking cake, and that it is!  Okay, so I don’t mess up baking projects very often, but when I do, I really do! Since our Baked mentors say to use a 6-cup Bundt cake pan and I don’t have one, I decided to use one that I do have for 6 1-cup mini-Bundts. Sounds logical, right? While it may be possible, mathematically, it wasn’t possible, physically! My poor little cakes over-flowed like crazy! By the time I realized it and slid a foil-lined pan onto the shelf below, them, most of the damage had been done! Fortunately, the cake that stayed where it was supposed to was delicious!  I’m sure I’ll make this again, but will definitely use a regular Bundt cake pan.  My mistake aside, this cake was easy to throw together on a weeknight and is delicious enough to serve to company.

Light and delicious with the rich flavors of malt and bourbon

It tastes like yummy waffles.  Even though we served it with the glaze, I think it would be wonderful with fresh berries and whipped cream.

Enjoy!

We took a ride on a Duffy boat today and this Sea Lion struck a pose for us on the dock!

    Oooh, I hate it when that happens! I wonder why the math is off, as it seems logical to me, too? Lovely little bundt cake, Susan and I’m sure it was delicious! Love the posing sea lion, too!

    What a cute bundt! This really was a good recipe. And would definitely be one that could be made on a weeknight.

    If you wouldn’t have said anything, no one would have noticed! Your mini bundts look great!

    I did the exact same thing. Fortunately my batter didn’t breach the edge of the pan, but I had to cut off all the weird “muffin tops”! Your glaze is beautiful and thick– I added lots of extra sugar, but should’ve added even more. Nice job, despite the oven mess! 🙂

    I’m glad I forgot that I own a pan that makes six one-cup Bundts, because I would have done the same thing! But your cakes still look adorable!

    When you enjoy baking and cooking mishaps are going to occur. Looks like the mishap did not affect the look and the taste is probably over the top delicious!

    I adore your photos, that sea lion is so cute! I think these cakes sounds scrumptious! I don’t think I have a 6 cup bundt pan either…another item to add to the list.
