A taste of this Pina Colada Bundt Cake will make you feel like you are in the tropics without leaving your house!
Hi, I’m Deb at Cooking on the Front Burner and this is my first post as a contributor. I’m excited to be here and looking forward to sharing recipes with you! Be sure to let me know if there is anything specific you have a taste for. I love creating recipes and have my husband, aka The DIY Guy, as a willing and eager taste tester.
Today I’m sharing a dessert recipe. If you like pina coladas (yes, even the Jimmy Buffet song!), you’ll love the flavors packed in these mini bundt cakes. Pretend you are at the beach as you take a bite of this tropical treat full of pineapple and coconut flavors and let your worries go away.
Pina Coladas remind me of summer and all it has to offer. I live in the midwest and our winters are just brutal and never seem to end. We always try to plan a winter getaway to somewhere warm to take a break from wearing our boots and down jackets. So when the weather starts warming up, we love to take advantage of being outdoors and opening up the house to some fresh air. One of our favorite things to do is entertain on our deck with family and friends where we are known to have a few tasty beverages (like pina coladas) and some fun appetizers. Love those summer nights!
To get your tropical fix all year long, no matter what the season, be sure to whip up a batch of these mini cakes. Enjoy!
