I don’t know about you, but I’m always ready to try a new bundt cake recipe. I think it’s fun to bring a bundt to a last minute birthday party. That’s how this lovely spice cake came to be.
I had a request to bring the usual chocolate cake I make into a bundt. The adults love and so do the kids. I knew I had to make one more and make it a little different. When the Boozy November theme was chosen for December #BundtaMonth, I knew exactly what to bring!
Anuradha and I chose Boozy December as the theme for this month’s #BundtAMonth.
Here’s how you can join the #BundtaMonth party:
Bake your Bundt for the Boozy December theme.
– Get inspired by your favorite cocktail, mocktail or just use your favorite liqueur and bake us a Bundt for Boozy December.
– Post it before December 31, 2012.
– Use the #BundtAMonth hashtag in your title. (For ex: title should read #BundtAMonth: Chocolate Cinnamon Bundt)
– Add your entry to the Linky tool below – Link back to both Lora and Anuradha’s announcement posts.
That’s it! Join in the boozy bundt baking fun all December!
Follow Bundt-a-Month on Facebook where we feature all our gorgeous bundt cakes. Or head over to our Pinterest board for inspiration and choose from over 350 Bundt cake recipes.

a little about this bundt: This bundt cake has a truly unique flavor. I find clove to always be a little too strong and I only used a touch of it. You could still taste its flavor. Then there are the lovely hints of cocoa and lemon; flavors I don’t usually put together in a cake and was happily surprised with the result. You could add more cinnamon and skip the clove all together if you just don’t like it. I think the next time I make this I will try a chocolate glaze. Whichever glaze you choose for this cake, it is wonderful!
Araby Spice-Limoncello Bundt Cake with Limoncello Glaze
Ingredients
2 cups all- flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
zest of one lemon
3 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk (I used almond milk with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar whisked into it)
1/4 cup Limoncello
For the glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Limoncello (or just use lemon juice)
1-2 Tablespoons milk
Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Spoon batter into pan.Bake for 1/2 on hour at 350 then lower the heat to 325 and bake for about another 20-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely. While cake is cooling, whisk together the glaze ingredients; set aside. Drizzle on Limoncello glaze and ENJOY!
Happy Baking!

December 1, 2012 at 6:34 pmI love, love, love vintage cookbooks. I could look through them for days. I have been curious about this recipe since you posted the title in the group. Nice spice and citrus combination. Sounds really delicious.

December 1, 2012 at 7:58 pmWhat a beauty! I love the back story on this cake Lora and I agree with you on cloves they can be very overpowering but allspice is a favorite. Happy Bundting!

December 1, 2012 at 8:01 pmThis bundt is lovely! I adore limoncello (even more after I made my own at home not too long ago!) and now I have another way to use it. This sounds so aromatic. I can't wait to try it!
Laura says
December 1, 2012 at 8:35 pmI love vintage recipes also! What a fun cake!
Jennifer @ Delicieux says
December 1, 2012 at 11:40 pmWhat a gorgeous bundt cake! I absolutely adore limoncello and love the sound of the spice kick.
Holly @ abakershouse.com says
December 2, 2012 at 2:29 amThis sounds great and I am sure it was the hit of the party! I have an old cookbook from my grandmother and must look through it for some Bundt and cake recipes. I love a cake with a bit of history!
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
December 2, 2012 at 3:47 amI love your boozy bundt, the glaze is so pretty! 🙂
Stacy says
December 2, 2012 at 4:31 amThe old cookbooks are almost always my idea of a great read because they tell a story about how folks used to do things, even when they aren't actually telling me a story! This is a beautiful, wonderful cake and I love the use of Limoncello with the spices.

December 2, 2012 at 2:23 pmI have been eying this bundt on facebook for the past few days. It looks oh-so-good! Thank you for sharing, Lora! I'm sorry I've been so absent. Between moving (and feeling quite sick) I'm just now catching up to over a month of blog-reading! I hope you are doing well. It feels good to be back 🙂

The Café Sucré Farine says
December 3, 2012 at 1:09 pmI LOVE bundt cakes. They're so pretty and so much easier than a traditional layer cake. This lemon one sounds fantastic! Love that glaze – wish I could have been your bowl cleaner outer! 🙂
Lisa says
December 4, 2012 at 1:24 amBeautiful bundt, Lora and the Limoncello glaze sounds so good! You know..my grandmother always made bundts..there was always one from her in our kitchen, so I kind of grew sick of them for a long time – I wanted cakes with thick frosting inside out! I think it's time to renew my 'relationship' with them xo
Addie K Martin says
December 4, 2012 at 1:47 amYUMMMM 🙂 you make the best looking bundt cakes.
Chic & Gorgeous Treats says
December 4, 2012 at 3:41 amI love Limoncello, and will always find an excuse to add them to any tarts with citrus fruits. I love bundts too, but rarely make them. The cake looks so pretty and the drizzle down the side of the cake is just absolute perfection. Have a great week and sending my regards to you and your family! xoxo, Jo

December 4, 2012 at 11:19 pmThis sounds delicious! I finally got a bundt pan!!! Yeah, I might have to make a bundt cake very soon!
Paula says
December 6, 2012 at 1:28 amI'm betting this was a huge hit at the party. Adding almond buttermilk and limoncello must have added such a nice flavour to it.
Jessica @ Portuguese Girl Cooks says
December 6, 2012 at 2:53 pmI love a little booze in my bundt cakes! 🙂 This bundt cake looks and sounds beautiful Lora!
The Mom Chef says
December 12, 2012 at 7:02 pmI think my goal for the new year will be to take part in this club. I love bundts and for some reasons the magazines rarely include them. So, I'll jump in with you guys and come up with my own using whatever special doodad ya'll come up with. This one looks fantastic. Love me some limoncello.

December 26, 2012 at 8:21 amThe truth is that should you buy your own Plus Size Dresses from the dodgy supply, you're going for a risk. Chances are it will likely be okay, but if you are going to buy the down jackets, a minimum of avoid the greater suspect ways of doing this. You just have no idea what you are getting, and there isn't any catier pendents protection or even recourse for those who have an issue. Be ready for the truth that your replica rolex datejust watches might be average to low quality, and there is not probably being much that you can do about this.
