      Sometimes it is fun to do something a little different for the holidays just to mix things up a bit while still serving the old favorites. Last December, I introduced you to the Piecupcaken on this post, it is the cupcake version of the Piecaken.  Since today is National Bundt Cake Day, I thought that a bundt cake version of the piecaken would be delicious! Since I wanted the flavors to be perfect for Thanksgiving, what could be better than a spice cake with pecan pie? The perfect thing is that in honor of National Bundt Cake Day, Amazon is having a sale on many bundt cake pans! This is the perfect time to order one!  Here are a couple of my favorites, you can click the photos to go see them on Amazon.
      As I contemplated this Pecan Pie Bundtcaken, I was at the grocery store and raspberries were on sale.  I thought, wouldn't a Raspberry Pie Cupcaken be pretty for Christmas? So, guess what, today I am going to show you how I did both! Let's start with the Pecan Bundtcaken.
Picture
     I started by making an 9" pecan pie.  I would suggest measuring the dimensions of your pie dish compared to the dimensions of your bundt pan to make sure that the pie will fit inside the cake.  And, when you crimp the crust, do it small and towards the inside of the pie rim.  A heavy rim of crust is not what you want in your pie bundt caken.  Here is my recipe for pecan pie that I used. Click on the photos below to see how I put the Pecan Pie Bundt Caken together! 
I greased an floured my bundt pan. Then I found a glass to use as a cutter to cut out the center of my pie. This one fit well, It would make a hole just large enough to keep the pie suspended above the first layer of cake batter.
Carefully remove the pie from the dish. I cut out the center of the pie. That center piece made a tasty treat for my husband.
I used a spice cake mix. I put a layer of the batter in the bottom of the bundt pan. It was less than half of the mixture, maybe 1/3 of it.
Slide the pie into the pan so it sits on the first layer of batter.
Now, pour the rest of the batter over the pie. Be sure to spread it to the sides so it will drip down and cover the pie as it bakes.
This is the one time that you do not want to cool your bundt cake upside down. When it comes out of the oven, just let it cool in the pan until it begins to pull away from the sides.

It flipped out of the pan so nicely! You can't even tell that there is a pecan pie in there!
     Since there is already so much going on in this dessert, I decided to only give it a drizzle of frosting.  I made a regular buttercream frosting and added a tsp of pumpkin pie spice to it.  It is so good! I made it a little thinner so that I could drizzle it over the cake.  
       When you go to serve the cake, look at the surprise inside!

What a delicious surprise on your Thanksgiving dessert table!
     Now, let's move on to the Raspberry Piecupcaken.  First, you have to make the raspberry tarts.  I still had pie crust left after making the pecan pie, so I just used that to make about 14 tart shells. I formed them in small muffin tins so that they would fit inside of a cupcake.

     To make the piecupcakens, I used a lemon cake mix this time.  Then, just like I did for the bundt cake, I ladled a little batter in the bottom of a regular sized cupcake tin (lined with a paper cup) and then placed the tart on that.  Finally I covered the tart with the more batter.  These were pretty full and came out pretty large! I baked them for the longest amount of time specified on the cupcake mix.  Bake them until they are golden brown and spring bake when touched.
Picture
I let them cool in the pan and used a knife to slip them out of the pans when they were cool. They came out pretty easily.
Picture
I frosted them with a plain vanilla buttercream and drizzled them with left over raspberry jelly and topped with another fresh raspberry.

These would be good not only for Christmas, but how about Valentine's Day or even Halloween!

    These recipes are a little more time consuming than just an ordinary cake or pie, but this time of year is when it is fun to do something a little bit extra! 
     Don't forget the bundt pan sale on Amazon! One of the extra fancy ones would make a nice gift for the foodies on your list! 
     If you would just like to make a bundt cake to celebrate National Bundt Cake Day, here are a couple of other recipes:

These both look so tasty but I think I'd really love that pecan pie cake. I hadn't made a bundt cake in forever! Pinned.
