It's almost the New Year and we're trying to figure out the best way to celebrate. Of course, we love a good bit of sparkle, but we wanted to think about something a little different, something a little purple... We found this beautiful bundt cake and we absolutely had to share in case anyone else wanted to bring in the New Year a little differently. Check out this amazing recipe from How To Cook Good Food.
