Pronunciation tip
Bundkuchen sounds like “boondt-ku-hun” and Gugelhupf sounds like “google-hopf.”
The English word “bundt” is derived from the German Bundkuchen, also called Gugelhupf, a ring-shaped cake originating in southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Serves 12
2 c white whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ c raw sugar
1 c nondairy milk
¼ c unsweetened applesauce
1 c frozen blueberries
Icing
1 c powdered sugar
1 tsp orange juice
1 tbsp orange zest
nondairy milk, as needed
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Add nondairy milk and applesauce, then stir until just combined. Stir in blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 25–40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Meanwhile, make icing. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with orange juice, zest, and nondairy milk as necessary until a runny glaze forms. Spoon glaze over warm cake and let run down the sides.
Chef’s Note: If you don’t have a bundt pan, a square 8- or 9-inch pan will work, but you will need to adjust baking time accordingly.
