Bourbon

 Might be a long evening, so I made a cake. Adapted a yogurt cake

recipe from the web for the pumkin-flavored yogurt I had on hand.

I expect this cake to taste fine...

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

3/4 cups yogurt +

1 2/3 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

The eggs and sugar get beaten till frothy. One then adds the oil and yogurt.

The flour and baking powder get mixed together. 

The dry ingredients are poured into the wet.

40 minutes at 350F

                                                           

So far, so good. There was a bit of an issue getting the cake out of the Bundt pan, but

I had buttered and floured the pan first. Watched  a YouTube video with an AI narrator

on the problem. Beat the pan against the table and shake it. Turn it upside down. If all 

elase fails, use a plastic spatula... Spatula works great!!

Copilot:

Help me find a recipe. I have made a pumkin-flavored bundt cake, and would like to make a maple-flavored glaze for it. I have maple syrup on hand...

That sounds absolutely delicious—pumpkin and maple are a match made in autumn heaven 🍁. Since you’ve already got maple syrup, here’s a simple and luscious Maple Glaze recipe that will complement your bundt cake beautifully:

🍁 Maple Glaze for Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar (sifted for smoothness)

2–3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (adjust for consistency)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional, for richness)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for depth)

Instructions:

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat (if using).

Remove from heat and whisk in maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Gradually add powdered sugar, whisking until smooth.

Add milk or cream a little at a time until the glaze reaches a pourable consistency.

Let it cool slightly—it will thicken as it sits.

Drizzle over your cooled bundt cake and let it set.

You can also sprinkle chopped toasted pecans on top for a bit of crunch and visual flair 🌰.

Would you like a twist on this glaze—maybe with cinnamon or bourbon?

Wouldn't mind bourbon, but I'll pass for now...

                                                               

I should report on the taste tomorrow morning 😸
