Apple Spice Cake

I had a sinus infection last week which meant that I spent the entire weekend sleeping it off. Hopefully I'll be baking more and posting more soon.

Why: I have this pipe dream of doing upside down cakes so I bought apples with the intention of doing an apple spice upside down cake. The problem is, upside down cakes are best fresh out of the oven which means that it's a crappy idea to make one when you have guests over because you'll be in the kitchen making it. I got sick of looking at the apples in the crisper and decided that something needed to be baked.

What: My new favorite thing ever is the bundt pan. I never had one growing up so I was missing out of the magic that is baking with a bundt pan. It's already molded into a pretty form and frosting is a subtle flavor addition, not smothering the whole cake. I find that most cakes have too much frosting so the bundt cakes is usually my desired route. Quick, easy and well balanced. This cake was like an apple pie. It was so-so right out of the oven but the next day it was amazing. The apples get coated in brown sugar and cinnamon and then layered within the batter so it's evenly distributed.

Recipe to follow in a few days.
