French Kissed Mini Bundts

The Bundt Bakers are featuring Herbs this month.......
Lara of Tartacadabra was scheduled to host this month and had chosen Herbs as a theme for our Bundts.  Lara is a bit under the weather so I am stepping in to assist.  

BundtBakers

Let's take a look at what everyone baked up with Herbs today........
#BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all of our lovely Bundts by following our Pinterest board. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
Updated links for all of our past events and more information about BundtBakers, can be found on our home page.

French Kissed Mini Bundts

I adapted this recipe from one found at Local Milk Blog for Herbes de Provence and Rose Olive Oil Cake who had adapted it from a recipe found at Food52 for Maialino's Olive Oil Cake.  I decided to halve the recipe and make mini bundts that I could serve up as dessert for Valentine Day and freeze any leftovers.  I deleted the glaze topping and opted for a sprinkle of powdered sugar on the cakes and a drizzle of strawberry syrup on the plates.

Neither of the names for this cake suited my Valentine Day Menu, hence the name I chose to call them...French Kissed Mini Bundts.  Perfect for Valentine Day and perfect for describing these tender, delicious cakes that are kissed with French herbs de Provence.

  1. So that's what you did! I kept wondering what herbs you could be using with the name "French Kissed". I've never used that herb blend but it definitely sounds delicious.
