Christmas is all about overindulging in sweet treats. We all love a sugar fix, and getting festive also means having a go at baking ourselves. Bundt tins are perfect for creating a beautifully shaped cake stress-free. And what’s more, they make a huge statement on the table at a Christmas meal! There are plenty of tins in a festive shape available, try Skandihome’s Gingerbread house tin or a more traditionally shaped Blossom bundt tin.
A Scandinavian favourite for cake at Christmas is the ‘Mjuk pepparkaka’ or soft ginger cake. We had a go at creating our own in IKEA’s Dalahorse baking tins, and the result was delicious! Just the smell of the gingerbread made us feel Christmassy. There is also a lovely recipe here that combines the Swedish lingonberry and frosting to make a Christmassy treat in a traditional round bundt shape.
If frosting isn’t your thing, then a simple dusting of icing sugar does the trick nicely, and makes for a beautiful snowy effect. Nigella’s ‘Spruced up Vanilla cake’ looks like a wintry forest – and a yummy wintry forest at that! Find her recipe below.
