A few days ago, I stopped in at Save Mart to pick up a few things. While I was there we found Driscoll’s Berries on sale, so I picked some up. Before I left the store my boys had elicited a promise from me to make them a treat with the berries. I decided I would make my Vanilla Bundt Cake and top it with a Mixed Berry Glaze because it is incredibly easy to make. It is so easy that it is my go-to dessert for summer picnics, barbecues, and potlucks. Driscoll's Rasberries on my son's fingers (550x478)

My kids kept stealing the berries while I was cooking. I am lucky I had enough left to make my cake! Does your family love berries?

When you make a bundt cake, you really need to take the time to grease and flour the cake pan even if it is a non-stick bundt pan. It will make it so much easier to get the cake out. However, if you forget or if it sticks for another reason, remember you can always use the cake to make a trifle!

Tips for traveling with a Bundt Cake

You can make the bundt cake and the berry glaze ahead of time and then assemble the cake just before serving.

Invert a lidded bowl to create an impromptu cake carrier (396x550)

Bundt cakes are my go-to dessert for picnics and potlucks because they are so easy to transport. You don’t have to worry about frosting melting, or layers slipping as you travel. If you don’t have a cake carrier, make an impromptu cake carrier by inverting a lidded bowl. Just be sure you hold it from the bottom while transporting it.

Dessert Bar Idea with Cake and Berries

Use a bowl lid as a cake plate and create a dessert station (550x361)

I place the toppings in separate bowls and assemble the cake when I arrive at the party. For gatherings with people with lots of special dietary needs, I create a “dessert bar” and allow the guests to choose the elements of the dessert that fit into their dietary requirements.

      I am not sure. It will depend on the size of your mini bundt cake pan. It makes 24 cupcakes.

    You have listed in the ingredients to use Baking Powder , but in the directions you list Baking Soda. So which one is it ?

      It is supposed to be baking powder. I have edited the directions. Thanks for pointing out my error.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
