Greg! I need cake help!
My birthday is Friday, June 9, and my niece wanted to make me a cake, so I said "A Seventies bundt cake!" just for something different. I don't think I've had one since the Late 80s maybe.
I found this recipe but it has powered sugar as the topping. From the Seventies, I seem to remember some kind of icing drizzled over the top instead.
Greg, you're old, too, as I am, so what do you think completes the cake better? I want it to be as Authentic Seventies as possible. Any suggestions?
I never read any of your recipes with all those wet concoctions, but I love to read your threads for the drama. I don't even know if you bake!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have no contribution to the baking dilemma but I am here to say that my mother used to call our dog Marble Cupcakehead and I miss them both dearly.

Happy to help, OP!
What do you mean by “ I never read any of your recipes with all those wet concoctions?”

I don't know, because of all the fish you use? For me, fish is its own dish, not mixed with or touching any thing else. Shark steak, not chopped up cod with leeks, or something like that.
Anyway, any help with an authentic Seventies Bundt Cake?

Shouldn’t the person baking the cake find the recipe?

Hmm... r5 is just instructions on the glazing. I wonder what kind of glaze that is.

You'll try a Bundt cake. Right, like it's some big experiment. Like you got no idea what it tastes like. Like you don't shovel it in by the pound every chance you get.

Yellow cake is the work of Satan ... or at least one of his major minions.
I just needed to make that known.

I don't care for Bundt cake but one time I made the most delicious Bundt coffee cake. I was working with Habitat for Humanity and took a cake in one morning for the guys. I set it on the table and 15 minutes later thought I better go get a piece before it's gone. I went in the kitchen and there was the empty plate. Record time: less than 15 minutes and it was gone.

I like Bundt cake. I didn't like it as a kid because I expected cake to be airy and fluffy and to have a reasonably thick roof of frosting.
I rarely eat it or any cake now, but I like that it's dense and chewier and drier, and I like the more subtle hardened-sugar glaze that soaks in a little and creates a crust.
I made a Bundt cake for the first time during the pandemic and I thought I made the recipe wrong because the batter was more doughlike. The recipe explcitly stated that it would be thick but I had to kind of push it down into the pan. It was really good, though—so good I ended up putting what was left in the trash immediately because I was isolated I couldn't stop eating it.

My dad died a few months after my parents retired to a small town in Virginia 30 or so years ago. Within 24 hours of his passing, we had received trays of fried chicken and at least 10 Bundt Cakes from people they barely knew. No other sweets -- just Bundts.
I was surprised by the generosity of a small southern town but more that Virginia women knew that Bereavement = Bundt + Chicken. I grew up a Yankee Episcopalian, and neither Bundt nor fried chicken were part of our lexicon.
I'm not sure if Bundt is still a Virginia funeral thing or not.

Bundt cakes make me horny. It must be the hole and the white iced frosting dripping down between the curved shapes of the cake, like cum between ass cheeks stop me I'm shaking!
