Bill's Ultimate Bundt Cake

tree luee dee's Note:

This is my DH's FAVORITE, FAVORITE cake. A wonderful woman who worked with me at a real estate office made these at Christmas and gave them to everyone. Instead of a bundt pan, she prepared these in mini loaf pans and gave them to everyone in the office. When I brought this home and we tried it, WE WENT NUTS! My husband begged me to get the recipe from her. Ever since, I've been making this in a bundt pan. But you can, like I mentioned, make it in mini loaf pans, regular loaf pans or even make them into muffins. WARNING....it is SOOOO good. I also apologize because I cannot remember the name of the woman who initially made this for me.

An easy and tasty cake. The topping was especially nice--not that heavy frosting/icing called for on so many cakes. Thanks, tree luee dee.
