The real star of this recipe is my new Nordic Ware bundt pan! I've been using the same bundt pan (stoneware) for about 15 years and lately it takes an act of congress to get it out of the pan in one piece - that is without it looking like someone took a bite out of the top!
Off to one of my favorite kitchen stores in Acton, MA with the hubby. Look what I found, this Nordic Ware Heritage bundt pan! I went back and forth between the traditional looking pan (that just the kind of gal I am) and this spiral pan. It took me about 30 minutes to make a decision! Who in their right mind looks at bundt pans for thirty minutes? My hubby was also surprised with my choice! He said he would have bet money on the other Nordic Ware pan!
When I tipped the pan after the cake had cooled, it literally fell out!!! Wow, not little bite marks on the top that I had to paste back in! I'm going back to get the traditional one - it's huge and it will feed my family!

P.S. I was in no way compensated for posting about the Nordic Ware bundt pan ~ although I'd be thrilled if they would send me their 12 cup anniversary pan! LOL!!!
