Have you ever had a cake baking in the oven whose smell
envelops the whole house making you want to open the oven door and dive head
first in to it?
Well I had that exact thing happen (ok I didn’t dive into
the oven but both myself and Mr T wanted to) when I made this Sticky Toffee Bundt by
Dollybakes. I adore anything toffee/caramel flavoured and this cake ticked so
many boxes from flavour to texture and of course smell!
Whenever I want to make a bundt I often check out Dollybakes
site first. I do enjoy creating my own recipes but when you just want cake and
don’t want to run the risk of a cake wreck it’s handy to have a reliable recipe
to turn to. I changed the icing but left the recipe for the sponge as it is.
I’m already thinking I might make this for my baby shower at
the weekend. There is minimal fuss involved which is very useful for me in my
8/9 month pregnancy state. These days I am not baking nearly as often as I used
to and anything that involves a lot of decorating just doesn’t happen.

This cake looks absolutely scrumptious and I will make it for my hubby, who will love me even more - sticky toffee pud being his favourite. I hope that the rest of you pregnancy goes really well. Sammie 😀
