Bundt Cake, Sokeri Kakku (Sugar Cake)

It's fun when your kids start doing the baking and cooking. Here they successfully made a favorite cake of ours, one my Mother frequently made as a gift to give to a friend or neighbor for their birthday. In Finland they call it Sokeri Kakku or Sugar Cake.

I also have made hundreds of these. The kids did a great job decorating it, don't you think? Recipe below:Bundt Cake, Sokkeri Kakku (Sugar Cake)
