Copycat Nothing Bundt Red Velvet Cake
Summer is here! Well, not the season but the kids are out from school. Yay for them! I’m so happy they can relax and take some time off. I remember being SO excited for Summer when I was a child. It’s so exciting. But now I’m a parent and it’s a bit different. I love my kids so much and truly enjoy spending time with them, but Summer is HARD for blogging mommies. And also for work from home daddies.
It’s very tricky trying to navigate a work from home situation when the kids are home from school! And summer camps are so expensive. I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to entertain the kids, coordinate play dates and basically just doing anything I can to keep them from staring at a computer screen or an iPhone all day long! It’s the big challenge of parents today!
But you came here to find a recipe didn’t you! Thanks for letting me get that out. It’s not so bad, just needed a chance to complain a little. I’m very excited that I don’t have to wake up at 6:30 am for a couple of months!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a Bundt pan. (I use Crisco and lots of it.) Set aside.
