This month, #BundtBakers join forces to bring you a delicious array of bundts that feature fruit and nuts.
This classic vanilla bundt features fresh, seasonal peaches finished with a date and pecan topping and simple icing drizzle.
This month's hostess with the mostess is Shilpi of the blog, Simply Veggies.
Our theme is fruit and nuts, as mentioned above. I could not think of a better theme for the month of July.
With all the abundance of fruit in season and on hand, I could not decide between peaches or cherries. I ultimately chose peaches because I think they pair so perfectly with pecans. On a last minute whim, I threw in dates- just what this cake needed.
It is moist and rich with flavor. The sweet fruit cuts right into the vanilla base, and it all comes full circle with the pecans and simple icing drizzle on top.
When the bundt finished cooking and was cooled, I couldn't possible flip it over and conceal that beautiful topping, so I flipped it again and served it upside-down.
The toughest part about this cake was keeping myself from picking at that irresistible topping while photographing it.
That slice you see was devoured within a minute once our little photoshoot wrapped.
We split the slice three ways and upon first bite, we all looked at each other thinking, this cake would be a sure hit.

Dearest Catherine,
All I can say is "Yummy in my tummy." What a fabulous bundt cake this must be! Such a flavorful cake and chock full of nuts, peaches, dates, and the drizzle on top, Oh My! I don't blame you for wanting to steal some of that goodness from the top of the cake. It also looks so beautiful and the photos I must say are always so awesome in anything you create. They are so inviting and mouthwatering, you just want to reach in the computer screen and taste whatever you and the family create. Thanks for sharing this, you are truly such a creative person. Blessing on this day and the weekend ahead.
