Pecan Pie Bundt Cake

Hate Christmas cake? Sick of your mum serving up a chunk of Christmas pud that will keep Gaviscon in business until Boxing Day 2017? Or perhaps you've been challenged to making dessert, and are feeling a little under pressure... Worry not my friends, for I am here to help you out of this Yuletide predicament. I have a few options up my glittery sleeve.

Cake challenges are the best, especially when you're being hugely indecisive when faced with many options. Homepride saw my festive predicament, and set a Facebook poll to see what you Christmassy little lot were fancying. The options were:

• Hot chocolate bundt with toasted marshmallows
• Pecan pie bundt
• Snowball bundt

I really wasn't sure which would be most popular, as they're all crowd pleasing flavours over the festive season, and looking at the results, it was very close indeed! But here we have it, in its very own 'Bundt Chart'. The pecan pie won your vote, so get baking...

The combination of the dark sugars, toffee yoghurt and syrup go perfectly with the nutty pecan flavour. Eaten cold it's a beautifully moist cake, best served with thick vanilla cream, but it can quickly be turned into a pudding by warming it slightly and serving with ice cream or custard. Likewise, it can be eaten directly from the cake carrier, with your hands, when no-one is looking. I checked.
