    • 2 1ā„2 teaspoons baking powder

    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmegs

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    5. Slowly incorporate flour mixture. Beat until just blended.

    6. Pour the mix into the greased bundt pan. Level top as much as possible. Cover the mold with a piece of aluminum foil greased on one side, greased side down.

    7. Place the mold in a roasting pan and place on oven rack. fIll with hot tap water 2 inches up the side of the mold. Bake for 2 hours or until the pudding is firm and it is pulling away from the side of the bundt pan.

    8. Remove the pudding from the water bath. Remove the foil and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before unmolding. Invert bundt pan onto a serving plate and remove mold. It should come away easily.

    9. Garnish cake with Sarasota Honey Company Fig and Pecan Honey Spread. If you want to be a little naughty mix tbs of rum in the honey spread before add it to the cake.
