Last month we were introduced to a fun new baking group called Bundt Bakers.
Mom and I have an infinity for bundts, in case you couldn't already tell. Check out a few of our favorites here, here and here!
We are pleased to be a part of such a group of like-minded bundt lovers. The group gathers once a month, sharing their recipes for that month's theme.
With Fall quickly on its way, this month's theme was Autumn Harvest hosted by Tux over at Brooklyn Homemade. What better way to greet the new season with a spiced bundt speckled with carrots, zucchini and apples??! The result was an ultra-moist cake, sweet and spiced.
I have never baked with zucchinis before, but since everyone loves carrot cake, why not? ...I cannot express how delicious this cake was. Paired with coffee (or tea), this cake is perfect in the morning and in the evening after dinner. I strongly suggest you give it a try. You cannot even taste the veggies 😉

Dear Tammy, Fantastic post and I also love Bundt cakes. I think they are so pretty to look at instead of just a plain round or square cake. Your recipe looks amazing and I love the photos of this delicious Harvest Bundt Cake. The combo of the carrots, zucchini, and apples must be such a delightful flavor. I adore carrot cake, so I think I would love this one..Thanks for sharing and it is a perfect time of the year to have posted this recipe. Have a blessed weekend with the family...Dottie 🙂

Such an excellent way to get in all your veggies;-)
Roxanne says
I’m making this now and it was still very wet and raw at 35 min. At 45 min the internal temp is still only 145 degrees F so I’ll keep going! It smells amazing and I’m making a caramel glaze since I don’t have any confectioners’ sugar.
Roxanne says
This was delicious, but it took about an hour in my oven at 350. I imagine it varies a bit with the size of the produce. I didn’t have (or like) cloves so I substituted mace and it was excellent. I was out of confectioners’ sugar so I made a caramel glaze and yum! (Melt one stick of butter, stir in a cup of brown sugar and 2oz half n half, bring to a boil, remove from heat and add a tsp vanilla and a pinch of salt if desired.) In retrospect, I think if I do it again w caramel sauce, I’ll cut back on the sugar in the cake a little. Yummy moist cake!
