“It should be on tables in restaurants along with salt and pepper. Anytime someone says, ‘Ooh, this is so good – what’s in this?’ the answer invariably comes back, ‘Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Again and again.'” – Jerry Seinfeld.
Seinfeld’s a funny guy, but he was being honest and serious here. I completely agree with Jerry. Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices. When the kitchen fills up with its enchanting fragrance, I’m transposed to another world. If you like cinnamon as much as I do then you must try this recipe. Every bite is bursting with the warmth of the spice and sweetness of sugar.
I’m sharing one of my all time favorite recipes: Blueberry Cinnamon Bundt Cake. You need to keep a couple of things in mind when you’re baking this:ensure the berries are well coated in cinnamon and throw in a couple of teaspoons of flour as well, so that the berries don’t sink to the bottom.
I’m all for the “the more berries the better” mantra, but in this case try not to over do it or you might end up with a squishy cake that gets stuck to the bottom.
Another tip: make sure you generously coat the bundt pan with the sugar mixture. I baked it a lower temperature than it required so it didn’t darken. If you have trouble taking out bundt cakes from the pan, you can read my post with some neat tips and tricks to avoid such, er, sticky situations.
What I love about the recipe – The streaks of cinnamon that run through the batter and pair exquisitely with every bursting berry in your mouth.
Lora and Me picked Spicy November as the theme for this month’s #BundtAMonth. All you need to do is pick your favorite spice or a combination of spices and join the party. There was no doubt in my mind that I’d pick cinnamon but our bakers have done a phenomenal job with many other flavors as well including anise, cardamom, and ginger.

As I said, lovely sweet morsel! I have coated the blueberries with flour before to make sure they don’t sink but I never thought to add cinnamon to the flour. You so smart! You know I will from now on. Also, now I need minibundt pans.

Your blog is soooo amazing! I can’t believe I just found out about it a few months ago! My only problem is that I work, and the damn job prevents me from baking 24/7!
