Bishop’s Cake

 

I had an abundance of eggs in my fridge and was not sure what to make, so after a little hunting decided on a pound cake, but not just any pound cake…I made Bishop’s Cake.  It is a denser cake than pound cake, but just as delicious and versatile.

Anything in a Bundt Cake always comes out looking delicious and party ready!

I love how when you turn over a bundt cake it instantly looks good – and you do not have to worry about icing layers.  Just drizzle a glaze or sprinkle confectioners sugar on top.  My kind of baking!  Plus there are so many fun patterned Bundt Cake pans.

I loved how the Bishop’s Cake turned out and would eat a slice with my coffee for breakfast or as dessert after a meal.  I garnished mine with fresh berries and a sprinkle of Confectioner’s Sugar, but I bet it would be just as good with chocolate sauce and ice cream.  With only 6 ingredients this recipe could not be easier and odds are you have everything in your kitchen…give it a try!
