It was okay, but a little too much carbonated drink, otherwise good.

This cake gets 5 stars for taste and it is a very moist cake. However, I did have a slight problem. I cooked the cake in my bundt pan, as the recipe states. It cooked out of the pan, all over my oven! What a mess! I will definitely make this cake again, but I will cook it in a tube pan, which is deeper(and what I usually cook pound cakes in). Thanks for a tasty pound cake recipe.
