I can’t believe we are actually in our new house now in Wisconsin. These past few months have been a blur and now it’s time to unpack, get settled, get acclimated and meet some new neighbors!
I stayed at my sister’s place in Minneapolis for a week before the big move here and while I was there, I made this bundt cake. The theme for Bundt-a-month this month is JAMMY November. I get to my sister’s house, open her fridge and – to my great surprise- I find like 6 or 7 homemade canned jams that her neighbors had made for her. Raspberry, Crabapple, Rhubarb, and Apple.
They were all delicious but I was drawn to the Crabapple so I went with this jam as my star ingredient. I love how the crabapple jam gives the cake a little pink color.
I LOVED this cake. It was moist, perfectly sweet with a very slight tang and was just down right delicious. For me, a cake is delicious when you don’t need to add anything else. I did add the powdered sugar and fresh raspberries for the photos but you don’t need it at all. Enjoy this cake with your morning coffee or a tall glass of milk and you are set.
I hope you enjoy!
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup crabapple jam
- heaping ¼ cup greek yogurt (I used honey flavored greek yogurt) + more if needed*
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Using non-stick baking spray or butter, generously grease your Bundt pan and set aside.
- Using an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, waiting until each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract, crabapple jam and greek yogurt and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. While, your mixer is on low, add your flour mixture slowly into the wet ingredients until fully combined. *If your cake batter looks too thick, you can add another tablespoon or so of yogurt. The batter should be slightly loose but not runny and not too thick.
- Bake for 60 minutes or until a tester inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack or serving plate to cool.
- When completely cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

You are amazing !I don’t think I could bake for weeks during a move…but I bet it was relaxing to make a delicious bundt. Your bundt shape is gorgeous and I have never tasted crabapple. It does give it a delicate and pretty pink color-love it, Alice!
haha, thank you Lora! I really loved this bundt and have this month’s jammy theme to thank for it! 🙂
I hope you are getting settled in to your new home. What a move! How nice you could see your sister along the way and perfect that she had that gorgeous Bundt pan. Hope your visits together are frequent!
How pretty is that bundt!!! Great with crab apple jam too!!
Perfect cake Alice, truly sounds fantastic and is putting me in the mood to start baking!
Awh, thanks Gerry! Baking is very therapeutic for me!
Truly a delicious cake, possibly my favorite.
Did you try all the jams?
Thanks Joo!! Yes, I did . . with toast! They are all tasty! You have talented neighbors and friends! 🙂
Gorgeous bundt, Alice! The lovely pink hue in the cake motivates me to buy crabapple jam! How wonderful that you got to spend time with your sister before the big move. And how great that she had all those jams for you!
Your bundt cake is a awesome recipe that I know my family will love. So glad you shared
Woohoo! Congrats, Alice. I’m so thrilled that you still bake during the move. We’ll be moving in a month or so and I’ve been planning to shut down my kitchen for a month, lol. I definitely need to learn your tricks and this bundt cake looks super moist. Gulp! I definitely need a slice here.
How perfect for all those bits of jam I have everywhere in my fridge. The pattern of this bundt mold is gorgeous Alice! You should’ve made an extra cake to get you through all the unpacking and settling down, lol! I’m so happy you’re finally there. Time to meet the neighbours!
Yes! I was so surprised to find one bundt pan in my sister’s kitchen! 🙂 and actually really loved the mold!
Congrats on your new home, Alice and I hope you are finally getting settled! I can’t believe in the midst of it all, you found time to make this beautiful cake! I’ve never tried crabapple before. But I love the pink hue of this cake and I imagine it to be sweet and tangy! And I couldn’t agree with you more….a good bundt cake needs nothing else! : )
Thank you, Anne!
Talk about hitting pay dirt in the jam department! That crabapple pink is so pretty, Alice. I love that you were able to spend a week with your sister and bake. That must have been a good break from the stresses of moving.
Hi Stacy!
yes, it was really nice. . and I’m so glad my kids were also able to get some play time with their cousins too! 🙂 thank you!
What a stunning bundt cake! I am glad that you were able to spend time with your sister on the way to your new house. I loved our theme this month and can’t wait to try more jams in my bundt cakes.
I’ve never had crabapple jam but it sounds great and the cake looks delicious!
WOW! Gorgeous Bundt! I love the powdered sugar and the pretty pink internal color.
Thank you so much!!
