Let’s begin chatting about the glaze on this cake.
Oh my goodness, it’s amazing.
It’s a maple cream cheese glaze… one whiff and it will draw you in.
Then when you slice into the cake,
well…
it’s all over
it’s AMAZING, it smells amazing and tastes delicious and it’s SO EASY to whip up. Really in no time you can be enjoying a slice or three 🙂
I know I’ve mentioned before how much I love my new bundt pan. The wide grooves allow the cake to be released beautifully. It’s a CUISINART BUNDT PAN, I linked to it on Amazon here.
Bundt pans seem to make the cutest cakes with how the icing drizzles down all the edges!
It’s hard to wait until it cools to slice it.

If you don’t like nuts, leave them out. If you love coconut add some in!
This cake can be easily adjusted to your likes. Raisins would be fun too.
This is a great cake for a holiday dessert, or for just sitting around and enjoying a cup of coffee or tea with. Alternatively, you can bake this in a 13×9 pan.
The flavor of this cake is so comforting it’s perfect for the crisp fall and winter weather.
Now after making this cake numerous times I tried it in a sheet pan, and it’s perfect… the perfect ANYTIME cake! No excuse not to make this cake, now even if bundt cakes aren’t you thing, sheet cakes are a great option.
The glaze icing spreads nicely over the top of the cake and it’s great for a breakfast cake or to serve after dinner!

I have been for a very long time. I really appreciate how simple you try to keep things when it comes to explaining the who what and why of blogging. Sometimes reading other blogs is just so overwhelming that I just end up moving on. I do appreciate your openness to sharing your income and understand your feeling that you might be speaking over some of us. But why not mix it up a bit? Go ahead and tell us where you are at (it is then a wanna get there goal for newbies), and a this is what I did (past goal/accomplished), and then a this is what I want to do next! I’ll be following no matter what.

I’ve recently remarked on these pages about the seemingly boundless propensity of some on that side of the pond to throw commas around like confetti; and the injurious effect this can have on diction.Marketing Kona

Hey, very nice blog. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
Hello,
No peppermint bark on hand, but I just discovered an open bag of white chocolate chips in the cupboard. Maybe I could throw those in with a few mints or candy canes to get the same effect?
Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing.lisa
This recipe has become our all the favourite. My little 3 year old toddler love baking and he absolutely love eating the yummy cake 🙂 thank you for sharing the recipe.
I remember coming to my first LOPSA-East, not too mention my first trip to NJ. Walking in John was great about showing me around and making sure I had everything I needed. He’ll be missed… getting a little teary.. Thanks John
I really like this and I try this when possible. I think I have heard of 7up pound cake, but 7up LEMON pound cake? And they are mini so make them 1000x cuter? I would go for this any day and every day. These look so good!
Made this tonight with butternut squash but didn’t have feta or the herbs for the dressing. Still, was a nice combination of flavors. I added shitake mushrooms with the kale.
I’ve been very stressed about wanting to put curtains on my windows recently, and I really didnt want to but because of the summer sun i just had to put something up. your blog just figured out what to do about those curtains for me.
Hi, We like to drive the boat to deserted beaches and enjoy picnics and playing in the sand. The cold water scares most boaters away (and the lake is surrounded by national forest, so no houses directly on the lake), so often we are the only ones out there! There are some warmer reservoirs in southern Colorado that are better for swimming, I’m going to make this next time we go and I know everyone will love it.
Yep, this has all my favorite flavors rolling into one delicious cake, it came out perfect. I’ve made it in a bundt pan and a sheet pan the glaze is delicious and my whole family can’t wait for me to make it again.
