Holiday Bundt Cake idea: Holiday Grinch Bundt Cake

Holiday Grinch Bundt Cake

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of my favorite movies to watch around Christmas time. I prefer the Jim Carey version vs the cartoon version of this movie.

Last year, the theme around our house was inspired by this movie. We decked the house in green, red and yellow. We had a blast. If you have plans to decorate your home or looking for a good holiday bundt cake, here’s one inspired by the Grinch!

Enjoy!

Spray the bundt pan with Pam spray.
Begin by spooning in some of the red batter and spoon some green on top. Alternate the red and green batter into the bundt pan.
Bake the cake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes then remove the cake from the Bundt pan and place on a wire rack until completely cooled.

Frosting Directions:

Cream the butter and powder sugar until it looks light and creamy.
If it doesn’t cream add several drops of the heavy whipping cream until it creams. Once the frosting has the right consistency begin by using a large spoon drizzle the frosting on the cake.
Allow all frosting to dry on the cake.
