Cake Thursday: September 25th

I had every intention of posting this on Tuesday (when I started it)...and every day since then. I kept thinking I'd wait until I was near the book from which the recipe came in order to add it to the post, but I seem to be out more than home these days.

So, two things:

1) I'm just gonna go for it and post the damn thing already. If you'd like the recipe and don't have the book, feel free to drop me a note and I'll shoot it off to you.

2) Though I love alliteration, I'm doing away with the whole "Tuesday on Cake Thursday" thing, and will just post about the previous week's Cake Thursday as soon as time allows during the week following.

Now that official business is out of the way...

Rum-Scented Marble Bundt Cake.



Look at that swoosh!

The recipe is from the new Nick Malgieri book, The Modern Baker (which I've posted about a few times already), and made a superb cake—moist and subtle and comforting. Everyone seemed to love it. Some even said it was their favorite I've baked for CT so far, which just confirms my belief that, though a stunning and complex cake is always impressive, it's the simple, old-fashioned ones that always render people mute with drowsy happiness.
