Friday Faves – The Food Librarian makes Coffee Cake Bundt
Hope everyone had a great week. Mine was busy but pretty good. For this week’s Friday Favs, I’m featuring Mary from The Food Librarian. This is a blog I’ve been following for a long time and I don’t remember how I even found it in the first place. Mary posts all sorts of yummy looking baked goods. Her photos sometimes include clever little comments and are always enticing. One of the most memorable things that Mary does is her I Like Big Bundts posts. In 2009 and 2010, she posted a new bundt recipe every day in November. That’s a lot of bundts! So it’s no surprise that when I opened my email from her, there was a recipe for a bundt in there.
Hi! It’s Mary the Food Librarian guest posting on Jen’s blog today! I’m a public librarian in Los Angeles who is obsessed with the Bundt cake. For the past couple years, I’ve celebrated National Bundt Day by posting 30 days of Bundts – affectionately named, I Like Big Bundts. Since National Bundt Day is just around the corner (November 15th), I thought I would bring you a Bundt!
I found this Bundt on Martha Stewart’s website. It’s from Everyday Food’s Lucinda Scala Quinn’s Mad Hungry book. A sour cream batter is prepared and two layers of sugar, cocoa and instant coffee (I used instant espresso) are layered in the Bundt pan. Swirls with a knife marble the mix a bit before baking.
This isn’t the biggest Bundt, so I think you could make it in a 10-cup or a 12-cup Bundt pan. I used this Classic Nordic Ware Bundt (12-cup).
This Bundt is perfect with a mug of coffee or cup of tea. It’s nice served for breakfast or brunch…or standing over the sink for a midnight snack. Thanks for letting me visit! You can find The Food Librarian blog here and on Twitter @foodlibrarian. I hope you join me in making a Bundt to celebrate Bundt day this November!
Aunt Patty's Coffee Cake Bundt
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp instant coffee (I used instant espresso instead)
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Dutch-processed cocoa, but I'm sure natural cocoa would be fine too)
2 cups all-purpose flour (10 ounces)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp coarse salt
8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar (7 ounces)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 10-cup or 12-cup Bundt pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, instant coffee, and cocoa. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Using an electric mixer (I used a KitchenAid with paddle), cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add one egg at a time, beating until just combined.
On low speed, mix in 1/3 of the flour mixture, then 1/2 of the sour cream. Repeat until you end with the flour mixture.
Add vanilla and mix, scraping the sides of the bowl well with a spatula.
Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle 1/2 of the filling on top. Pour in another 1/3 of the batter and sprinkle the remainder of the filling on top of that. End with the last 1/3 of the batter. Run a dinner knife down through the batter and swirl the knife gently to marble the batter in about six places.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Cool on a rack for 20-30 minutes, then turn out onto a plate.

Lots of good things to come in 2011! Happy New Year, hope you are feeling better!
Looking forward to seeing all your Friday Favs! Happy New Year!
What an awesome idea. Can’t wait to read them! Hope you had a great New Years…can’t wait to see what you bake up this year!
