Could I make this in a small rose shaped bundt? Moved to Q&A

Tender, moist, a delightful tea cake! EASY to make; fast to fix. I made this for work, with no prior prep, between 7 a.m. and leaving for work at about 8:20...and I do not wake up quickly or easily! Thanks, Susie. This is a hit. (I really wish we had half-ratings.)

Yum! This cake was so easy to make, and delicious too. Everyone loved it. Thanks so much for sharing! No changes made except I added some more cinnamon to the cake itself.

We still have a month or so to go before our blueberry season. I used frozen blueberries, it is delicious, thanks for the recipe.
