I baked mine in a bundt pan and came out beautifully. Moist soft and have fine texture to it. The cake is not too sweet like most cake do. Too much crumb toppings, so I cut mine in 1/4. Everyone should try this cake because truly it is an awesome cake. My husband who is on a diet also love this cake with a cup of coffee. Thank you cristi for posting this recipe.
