Ingredients
Method
- Preheat 350° F
- Prep a bundt pan with nonstick spray and if needed a silicone pastry brush.
- Make sure to get all the nooks and crevices as well as the tube for easy release.
- Prepare Filling First
- Use Cinnamon and mix it with sugar in a bowl and set aside. Stir well to combine.
- Next, prepare the cake mix.
- In a large mixing bowl, place cake mix and egg.
- Mix on medium speed for 30 seconds to combine.
- Next, add in 5 Tbsp of butter.
- Then 1/4 C of Applesauce with cinnamon.
- Now mix for 30 seconds more to combine.
- Once ingredients are combined, mix for 3 minutes on medium speed.
- Pour 1/2 the batter into the pan.
- Now add cinnamon-sugar mixture atop the 1/2 batter that is poured.
- Next, run a toothpick through the cinnamon to swirl.
- Then use the other 1/2 batter to the top
- Transfer bundt pan to the oven and bake for 35 minutes (or until a toothpick comes to clean in the center)
- When you remove the bundt cake, allow it to set up for 15 minutes and not longer or the cake will stick.
- Then, loosen edges as discussed in the post.
- Next, Flip onto a cooling rack.
- Prepare Icing
- Combine confectioner's sugar and water.
- You want to make this thinner, for drizzling.
- Add water a tablespoon at a time, until the consistency of the icing is drizzle-worthy.
- This could be up to 6 tablespoons of water, just add one at a time and wait a minute in between to see how the icing is turning out.
- Next, divide the icing into 2 separate containers and add coloring - one yellow and one green.
- Icing The Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Cinnamon Bundt Cake
- Once the cake is completely cooled, it is time to ice it.
- Using a spoon or a fork, drizzle icing, one color at a time across the cake.
- For a more festive look, scatter with leftover colorful jelly beans or skittles.
- Enjoy~
Notes
For High Altitude (over 3500 ft) Oven must be preheated to 350° F and you need to chang recipe accordingly by adding in 1/3 c flour and 4 eggs instead of 3. Baking time will differ also.
