This Toffee bundt cake is one of the best bundt cake recipes I’ve come across. Perhaps it’s a bit like Mom’s, only this one is doused in caramel sauce!

It’s not often that Dorothy and Toto come for a visit, but January found me being a good host and baking one of the best toffee bundt cake recipes ever!

I had lots of fun showing Dorothy around and hearing her stories and imagining all the places she’s been.

It was cold back in January so she brought a lot of warmth into our home and we all enjoyed the visit.

By now you may be a bit confused, but Dorothy looks like a bundt pan and Toto is the book that accompanies her on her journeys.

I had signed up to receive her from Jenni Field of Pastry Chef Online and the Peoplehood of the Travelling Swirly Pan who is sending Dorothy almost around the world and then gathering her stories.

I’m not sure what she intends to do with them, but I thought it would be fun to contribute. Reading about her journeys and all the great things that were baked in her glorious shape, was quite entertaining.

She arrived soon after our journey to Costa Rica.

Yes, my favorite China Boy was still home. He ate heartily of Dorothy’s cake and even brought an extra loaf to his grandparents in Scottsdale.

I also baked a jalapeno cheese bread in Dorothy’s inner recesses, (from Paul Prudhomme) that was super spicy and super good.

That was served with piquant shrimp on play off day along with this luscious cake.  

Toffee Bundt Cake

I decided to make this Toffee Bundt Cake, because as a child, my mom often made a cake with Heath bars.

I do recall her making bundts, and she often used a 13 x 9 pan for the famous Heath bar cake.

Not having her exact recipe I used a variety of recipes and came up with what I consider one of the best bundt cake recipes ever!

I couldn’t help myself, so I then added a fudge ripple and to take it over the top embellished it with a caramel glaze.

Well, you do know that all good things come with a fudge ripple and caramel, right?

I do have an old Bundt pan that I bought way back, when I was in college.

I made a few good things with it, but mainly it is lurking in the recesses of my lower cabinet.

Every cake I ever made seemed to stick to the pan, so I took it quite seriously when a few note takers said to grease Dorothy well.

Thank goodness I heeded their advice and had nary a problem.

This was a great cake. Moist and rich and gooey enough that Odie San’s friends who were watching the Broncos play off game, devoured it along with their beers.

Picnic lovers would love this toffee bundt cake recipe that is quickly becoming one of my most favorite bundt cake recipes!

Full of flavor and perfect for transporting-without the glaze-this cake will satisfy any chocolate and caramel lover out there.

Dorothy soon went on her way accompanied by her beloved Toto.

It was fun entertaining her and looking back I wish I had snapped a few more photos. Alas, like any good visitor, the good ones leave too soon!
