Martha Stewart's Weekend Baking Project Is One Seriously Impressive Cake

It seems like almost everybody is getting into quarantine baking — but not everybody is doing it quite like Martha Stewart. Sure, if you’re lucky enough to have the requisite ingredients like flour, baking powder and yeast on hand already (because good luck finding them in stores), you’ve probably been whipping up some delicious baked goods. (Ina Garten’s jam thumbprint cookies, Chrissy Teigen’s banana bread and Joanna Gaines’ chocolate chip cookies, we’re looking at you.) But if you’re anything like us, your weekend quarantine projects do not look like the flat-out amazing Bundt cake that lifestyle maven Martha Stewart just posted on Instagram.
“This rosy riff on a strawberry shortcake is sure to become a new Bundt cake classic. To make it, you’ll first tint a portion of the batter pink with ground freeze-dried strawberries. Once it’s poured into the pan alongside the non-tinted batter, you swoosh a knife through to create a swirl. Cue the oohs and aahs. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. ????: @pissinginthepunchbowl,” Stewart said on May 12 on Instagram.
The recipe was in the May 2020 issue of Martha Stewart Living — but beyond the mouth-watering recipe, you’ll need a special Bundt pan to replicate this beauty — and Stewart’s IG followers sleuthed it out. It’s Nordic Ware’s Crown Bundt pan, and conveniently, you can get it on Amazon.
Will it take more than a special pan for our version to look as good as Martha’s? Probably, but trying to recreate her magic will be tasty, if nothing else.
Prep time takes less than 40 minutes to get ready, and serves over a dozen people.
Make sure you get freeze-dried strawberries, strawberries, vanilla extract, whole milk, and baking powder, to name a few. And after six steps, you can enjoy a cake the whole family will love. And let’s face it, this would be a great way to spend Mother’s Day!
