The thing I have been loving most about this cookbook/magazine challenge is trying new things that I never pick when I’m exclusively googling. I’m realizing how much I stay inside the (recipe) box when I google as I go. Flipping through books and magazines has opened my eyes to lots of ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. Now, this recipe isn’t so out there. I’ve made a couple of fruity cake/bread type desserts on the blog already. I was slightly surprised by how much I needed to make this though because I’m not usually drawn to cinnamon topped desserts (ugh, another weird, unreasonable food preference). In fact, when I took my first sneaky sample I seriously considered leaving out the cinnamon topping because I already liked the taste so much. I talked myself into sticking with the recipe though and am really glad I did. It’s so much tastier with cinnamon!
By the way, the recipe is for a full sized bundt cake, but sadly I don’t have a bundt pan at the moment. It’s ok though – I love when I have a reason to use this cute pan that reminds me of mini sand castles! The peaches and cream bundt recipe can be found here. I halved the recipe, which gave me enough for 30 mini cakes and one mini loaf. Dipping them in whipped topping was really fun and I think would be great for a party! It’s kind of like fondu. You gotta give these a try. They are incredibly light and moist with a nice hint of peach. The cinnamon and whipped topping is a must – it makes it takes like peach pie…in cake form! Yum!
I adore peaches!! Sounds yummy!
I do too! I had to sneak a few peach slices while baking : )
Try a slice in a glass of prosecco!
Where did you get your adorable mini shapes pan?
It was a gift! My guess is Sur La Table, but I’ll ask and get back to you!

Thank you so much! I am going to order one!
Have a great day! Jenni
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!
we must be on the same page…fruity cake! Can’t go wrong! I love those pans, I have a big one from Williams-Sonoma. It weighs about 20 pounds and I have never used it, but it was a must have. I am diggin your challenge. You have inspired me to do the same thing. I agree, it’s time step out of the (recipe) box!
Yes! Can’t get enough fruity cake! haha This is only my second time using this pan, but I love having it around. I’m so glad you like the challenge – I hope you have fun with it and I can’t wait to hear how it goes for you!
Peaches are in season right now, here too! I also have mini Bundt cake pans but in silicon, are yours in silicon? They look cool & superb! 🙂 MMMMM!
Thank you – nope mine are not, but I’m sure that would be easier to clean!
