This month’s theme for Blogger C.L.U.E. was one of my favorites to date – find a recipe celebrating all things Autumn.  This Applesauce Cranberry Bundt Cake from Sew You Think You Can Cook is perfect for this mission don’t you think?

Sew You Think You Can Cook is a fabulous blog run by the uber talented Lauren with delicious recipes.  As you can tell from the blog name alone, Lauren has some serious sewing chops.  She not only can cross stitch, but she quilts which is something my grandmother tried to teach me as a child when I would spend summers with her.  Back then, I stupidly was more obsessed with watching Ponch from C.H.I.P.S. instead of paying attention.  Now, the most I can sew is perhaps fixing a hem or, if I really tried, a scrunchie (which I haven’t made since the very early 90s *LOL*)  Lauren is an Air Force wife currently in Ohio with her husband and adorable son and her blog is written like you were having coffee with one of your favorite girlfriends.  It’s really one you should check out.

Lauren had some other amazing recipes that were tempting like this must make Boo-Tini for Halloween, Football Game Day Dip, Chocolate Caramel Apple Bundt Cake and her Fresh Apple Cake, based on her beloved Busia’s recipe.  However, the minute I laid eyes on this Applesauce Cranberry Bundt Cake I was smitten.

I have been wanting to try an applesauce cake for some time now and my bundt pans clearly don’t get enough love.  I made only a few changes to her recipe since I only tend to have unsweetened applesauce on hand and I’m not as much of a fan of ground cloves.  Lauren asked to glaze or not to glaze and while I do think that the glaze might be nice, it really isn’t needed as it’s “just right.”  A quick dusting of powdered sugar worked perfectly, but if you were going to glaze your cake, perhaps an applesauce glaze like I used in last month’s Blogger C.L.U.E. assignment for Apple Oatmeal Muffins would be the perfect sweet compliment.

This Applesauce Cranberry Bundt Cake will be the star at your next weekend brunch.  Just make sure to give yourself the first slice before it’s all gone.  Many thanks Lauren for a delicious recipe that will be a favorite in this household as well!
