Bundt Cake

So, on Thurs evening, Gropius cooked lentils and made homemade pasta for dinner while I baked a cake for him to take to work the next day for a potluck luncheon.  After looking at our pantry (because we didn't want to have to go to the grocery store), we decided on a hazelnut variation of Dorie Greenspan's Walnut Mocha Bundt cake.  I had some hazelnut flour in the freezer, so after making an espresso for the mocha part, we were good to go!

Lulu wanted to help, so I let her pour the flour into the bowl, stir the dry ingredients, etc.  She wanted a cake of her own and even brought out her mini-bundt pan from the IKEA toy cooking set and I thought, "Why not?"  I buttered and floured her cake pan and we poured a little of the batter into hers, too.  And what do you know--it worked!  The end product looked more a fancy donut than a bundt cake (due to its size) but Lulu thought it was very cool.

I was really pleased with how the cake turned out, too. It was delicious! (of course I had to sample a piece!)
