Distracted Cleaning {Recipe: Oatmeal Pumpkin Bundt Cake}

  • Facebook

  • Yummly


Okay, okay… I know I just shared a Bundt cake recipe with you. And yes, two Bundt cake recipes in a row is probably a bit much, but I couldn’t help myself.

This recipe was inspired by a pantry cleaning project. This past Saturday I was bound and determined to get my pantry in tip top shape. Ignoring the suggestion of FlyLady to pull out only what I can put away in 15 minutes time, I pulled everything out of my pantry. Every inch of counter top was covered in baking supplies, canned goods, spices, snacks, pasta and more. As I looked around my kitchen trying to determine what should stay and what should go, I decided that there were some items that simply needed used up. 1 cup of oatmeal, an insane amount of canned pumpkin, and enough powdered sugar to cause a state of emergency in Kansas, I decided to do what most people would do. No, I didn’t put everything that was on my counter away… instead, I decided to bake a cake.

Moving everything aside, I pulled out my mixer and decided another Bundt cake was in order. I adapted the Pumpkin Bundt cake recipe I shared the other day, omitted some ingredients and added some others. The end result is what I am calling my “Clean Out the Pantry Bundt Cake”. It’s a Pumpkin and Oatmeal Bundt Cake with a powdered sugar dusting and it was delicious. In fact, we ate it for breakfast the next morning… couldn’t be any worse for you than a muffin, could it?

Anyway, Bundt Cake, if your wondering, is a great distraction. I think you should stop what your doing right now and go make one yourself. Cleaning can wait, right?

Oatmeal Bundt Cake Duo

Recipe: Oatmeal Pumpkin Bundt Cake

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • powdered sugar
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan (I use Pam Baking spray).
  2. Place 1 cup oatmeal in a small bowl. Pour 1/4 cup boiling water over the oatmeal and stir together. Allow oatmeal and water to sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Add sugar and butter to a large mixing bowl. Beat on low until light and fluffy.
  4. Slowly add the eggs, one at a time, and continue mixing until well incorporated.
  5. Add the pumpkin, oatmeal/water mixture and vanilla, mixing on slow speed until well blended.
  6.  While mixer is still going on slow, add the flour, one cup at a time. Next, add the pumpkin spice, baking soda and salt. Blend until well incorporated.
  7. Pour cake batter into prepared Bundt cake. Bake for 60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clear.
  8. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes then invert onto a large cake plate. If desired, dust with powdered sugar.

    I am a big fan of the cook-to-clean philosophy. I too clean out my pantry that way. My refrigerator as well. It sounds counter intuitive, but it’s such a delicious way to go. That cake looks amazing. I wish I had a bundt pan!

    It’s on my list to clean the pantry this week. I’m sceeeeerd of what I may find. Although, maybe Ill find all the ingredients I need for this. Then get distracted, make cake, then eat cake. That’s not such a bad tradeoff 😉

    This is so great! Any pumpkin recipes make me glad it’s fall, but there’s something about Bundt cake that holds a special place in my heart–and this one’s even better because it’s got oatmeal in it! I’ve got a soft spot for oatmeal baked goods, too. 🙂

    Bundt cake. Pumpkin. Thank goodness for fall and this recipe. I could see myself getting lost in a book by the fireplace with a slice of this and a steaming hot cup of tea. So good!

    I have so many tools in my kitchen and I just realized that a Bundt cake pan isn’t one of them! This looks and sounds so d’lish that I’m going to have to go out to the supply store and pick up a pan! Seriously!

    And now I’m drinking my morning cuppa wishing I had a little something sweet like this to go along with it. 🙂

    I love anything with pumpkin! I can’t wait to give this a shot. After greasing my pan I would sprinkle in cinnamon and sugar so it gets a sweet crust. Sounds delicious!

    Mentoring should occur in two arenas: academic & real life.
    The leader feels that they need to serve their followers rather than force
    upon them what they want. This cost of regular rewards, and then in season grows found in rate paid,
    can be sure symptoms of economical practicality.

    I adore cakes like this… loaded with fall spice and the texture from the oatmeal. Perfect as an afternoon snack with a pot of tea. Does it get much better than that?

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.

Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
