Candyman is a guilty pleasure of violence and decadent storytelling. The deep layering of urban legend and myth are wound so deeply together, it’s easy to see why this movie has a cult following. We created a cranberry orange Bundt cake in a beehive mold. It doesn’t need frosting, but we dripped honey over our delicious slices. Have a piece or five.

  4. Add half and half, sour cream and blend at low speed until incorporporated
  5. Gently fold in cranberries with a spatula. DO NOT USE A MIXER
  6. Grease your bundt cake pan. We use a brush and coconut oil to get into every nook and cranny.
  7. Pour the batter into the bundt cake pan to 3/4 level. Do not overfill.
  8. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes using the toothpick check (Batter may be moist, but will not stick to the toothpick)
  9. Let cool for 2 hours
  10. Gently remove the cake from pan on a serving plate and drizzle with honey

Notes

The bundt cake pan we used was Nordic Ware and I have posted the link in the images section. I use this cake pan for many summer and spring recipes, but it works especially nice for the horror classic, Candyman.
