Cinnamon Bun Bundt Cake – Not Your Normal Coffee Cake

The other day I was craving coffee cake, I was also craving a cinnamon bun. I am not a sweets kind of girl usually. Normally I like my savoury snacks far more, however sometimes I get these cravings for things like cakes, donuts and pastries and when those cravings come on… I have to bake!

 We have a tenant that lives downstairs and she always gets to be the taste tester of these creations, so as soon as the cake was finished cooling and iced, I took her down a few peices for her, her friend and her daughter to try. They were in LOVE with it. LOVE. I am kind of mean to my kids I guess, because I made them wait until after dinner to try it… but when they did, they wanted more and more and more. In fact, they took some to school for snack today and I may or may not have demolished a piece with a tea this morning for breakfast… shhhhh. 

Cinnamon Bun Bundt Cake

This cake is a Franken-creation somewhere between a coffee cake, and a cinnamon bun. It is rich, delicious and just a little sweet. The balance is great. The cream cheese icing is really the perfect addition to this coffee cake. It cuts the sweet a little with a great amount of creaminess! I also included a beautiful, sweet and crunchy streusel on the bottom (which was initially the top before I flipped this old girl out of the pan.) The streusel adds the perfect buttery crunch to every bite. 

We can’t stop eating this! It’s perfectly buttery and delicious. Pair it with a great cup of tea or a hot coffee and you won’t be disappointed. The kids loved this as an after school treat, in fact, because there are no nuts, I was able to send it to school with them as I said earlier.
