I never knew that there was a holiday dedicated to any thing food related until I started Cake Duchess. Every day on Twitter or Facebook I will catch the national holiday of something to do with something delicious.
I think you may forgive me once you are hypnotized by this bundt’s rich caramel glaze.The sticky caramel drips and oozes off the bundts’ curvy sides beckoning you to take a bite. It's too late to run and hide; you're mesmerized by its spell.
How can you be a part of it?
Anuradha and I will pick an ingredient and announce it the first week of every month. All you Bundt loving bakers need to do is use your imagination on how you’d like to incorporate it and bake a Bundt – mini Bundt or large Bundt – and link it up to our blogs throughout the month. It’s that simple!

a little about this bundt cake:
Vanilla Bundt Cake with Caramel Glaze
For the cake:
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup sugar
13.5 ounce coconut milk
3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1 Tablespoon lemon juice (or lime juice)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Glaze Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter *I used Earth Balance soy free margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Cake Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat a bundt pan with non-stick baking spray (or you can butter and flour the pan-I prefer baking spray).
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt; set aside. In another bowl, whisk together oil, apple sauce, sugar, lemon juice and the vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and coconut milk alternately starting and ending with flour mixture. Using a spatula, scrape the sides of the bowl and incorporate all the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 1/2 on hour at 350 F then lower the heat to 325 F and bake for about another 15-20 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. Cool slightly before removing to a rack to cool completely.
When cake is just about ready, make the glaze.
Glaze Directions:
In a saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes. Add the corn syrup, and vanilla and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour hot glaze over cooled cake. PS: I had about a cup of the caramel glaze leftover. I will be using it another recipe soon-it won’t go to waste. 😉
buon appetito!
happy baking xo

There can never be too many bundt cakes in one blog Lora, especially if it involves caramel! This is a goooood looking cake!
Alison Roomberg says
i love the bundt-a-month idea, and i have a bundt in the oven right now! i'll be linking up... thanks!
Micha says
This cake blows my mind that it's vegan. My youngest has a dairy allergy and although he can tolerate milk in baked goods, sometimes I want to do something dairy free or even vegan just because. Thanks for sharing this recipe and I'm gonna have to add it to my list 🙂
Angie's Recipes says
Coconut milk, applesauce...I definitely will love this bundt cake. The glaze looks super too.
Holly @ abakershouse.com says
I am sorry I didn't get a bundt baked in time for Bundt Day but what a treat to see yours and the others too. Gorgeous! And I think that caramel glaze is especially nice, can I have a bowl of it please??
The Mom Chef says
It's a good thing you lightened up that bundt because I'll be downing half of it on my own. That caramel dripping down the sides is just calling my name.
Lizzy Do says

Munatycooking says
Oh Lora, you made my sweet tooth extremely happy LOL! Your bundt cake looks so moist and adding that caramel glaze, MAN! I can't wait to take bite 🙂
Lemons and Anchovies says
Great idea to lighten things up--I've been trying to do the same thing. Most of the sweets I make end up at the office. Always nice to enjoy some treats without much guilt, especially since I'd devour this beautiful bundt. 🙂
Alice @ Hip Foodie Mom says
Lora, LOVE this! Your bundt looks so moist and delicious!!! Perfect for National bundt day!
Ilke says
Very pretty and I can understand the desire to bake this beauty! I will actually admit that I am not a caramel person and rely on powder sugar a lot for decorating 🙂
Laura says
Can you taste the coconut milk? I am totally intrigued! And the caramel sauce-whoa.

Is there an ingredient missing? I see oil in the mixing instructions but not in the ingredient list.

The shot of the caramel drizzle falling of the sides is totally doing the trick for me! What a gorgeous cake, Lora! I want a slice and I want it NOW! 🙂
Kim Bee says
For the life of me I couldn't remember if I commented on this or not. But I knew I had to stare at it again. It's making my tummy rumble.
