Here at the BundtaMonth HQ, we’ve decided to go with a candilicious theme this month. All you need to do is pick your favorite candy or a combination of two or more and bake us a delicious bundt. While the opportunities are endless, I decided to go with a Kit Kat stuffed cake.
The reason I chose Kit Kat was because it would provide a little crunch along with the chocolate-y goodness. Also, I was apprehensive that an all chocolate candy would melt completely. Not that I would be complaining about the molten chocolate, I didn’t want the candy to get stuck to the side, burn and eventually ruin the cake. I’m happy to report that kit kat worked out just fine.
While I broke most of the chocolate into bite sized chunks and placed them away from the edges, I took some of the batter and used finer pieces of the candy to give the flavor through out. The base of the cake is a simple, rich and indulgent pound cake.
- 1½ cups butter, softened
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 Single Kit Kat Fingers, roughly chopped
- Preheat oven to 350° and generously grease a 14 cup bundt pan.
- In a large bowl beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese, beating until creamy.
- Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
- Gradually add flour to butter mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition, stopping to scrape bowl as needed.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Assemble:
- Pour one-third of batter into a greased and floured 10-inch (14-cup) tube pan (about 2? cups batter). Sprinkle a layer of kit kat. Repeat procedure once, and top with remaining third of batter.
- Bake at 350° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 1 hour).
