Here’s an interesting way to upgrade the ordinary bundt cake. It’s very delicious, but it requires more ingredients and more time in the kitchen. You need to prepare three things – the caramel bundt cake, the biscoff madeleine, and the cookie tentacles. After you’re done preparing everything, the last step is assembling the whole cake.
