Carrot Cake Bundt #BundtBakers

I love carrot cake year round but it is certainly filled with wonderful Fall flavors making it perfect as a seasonal dessert during the Holidays.

It's time for Bundt Bakers..................

Our fearless leader, Stacy of Food Lust People Love, is hosting our party this month and asked us to share a delicious Bundt that contains our favorite spices.  Let's see what everyone baked up for us.....

• Anamalai Nutmeg-Scented Eggnog Mini Bundt from Culinary Adventures with Camilla
• Apple Bundt Cake from Palatable Pastime
• Carrot Cake Bundt from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Cider Spice Bundt Cake from Food Lust People Love
• Leftover Cake Spiced Bundt Pudding from Sneha's Recipe
• Kiss of Cherries Bundt Cake from Patyco Candybar

#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.

I am a big fan of many spices but when the weather starts to cool and the smell of fall is in the air, I start yearning for the warm spice mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.  These spices combined with carrots baked up in a tender cake and topped with a maple cream cheese frosting makes a perfect Autumn Dessert.

I adapted this recipe that I found at Southern Living quite a bit.  I omitted the nuts because my husband doesn't care for nuts in cakes. I used ginger paste instead of crystallized ginger, only because I didn't have any.....I think it would be even more amazing with the crystallized ginger.

The cake is tender and moist and there is just enough icing to complement and not overpower the warm spices.
