I tasted the batter and it needed more sweetness, so I added another cup of sugar and about 2 tablespoons water. I made this in a 12 cup bundt pan. Once it was done and I flipped the cake out of the pan, I melted 5 tablespoons butter and mixed in 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. I poked a bunch of holes in the top with a toothpick and poured the butter and sugar mixture over the cake. I ate the next day and it was really yummy. Next time I may add brown sugar to the cake before I bake. Thanks for the recipe!!
