Well to start off, I had some problems with this recipe. The batter was very nice, thick and smooth. Then I put it in the oven, this is where my problems started. The batter oozed all over the outside of the pan and onto the oven floor as it baked. I think I should have used my tube pan rather than my bundt pan. I also had to bake it for longer than the time called for by about 10 minutes because it stayed liquidy. When I took it out of the oven, some parts of it actually sank. I did the whole wait 1/2 an hour and do the glaze thing-waited another 1/2 an hour and flipped it out of the pan. The top of the cake was very dark from having to bake it as long as I did. With all of that being said, the flavor is to die for! It's like a big gooey moist sugary glazed donut! Very yummy. But next time (yes, I would try this again) I think I will be baking this in a tube pan, and maybe reducing the oven temp a little and baking it a little longer. Thanks for posting this recipe!

I served this cake last night at a family gathering in my home and everyone absolutely devoured it! There was only a small piece left after everyone inhaled it. Very, very rich and dense. I used a Pillsbury white cake mix with pudding and only had a 6 oz. package of sugar-free Jello instant vanilla pudding on hand. I was skeptical about making these substitutions but took a chance and the cake still turned out fabulously. I bake a lot and honestly haven't received this many compliments and requests for a second piece of cake EVER. I will definitely be making this again many, many times.

Very successful recipe. I made a miniature version of bundt cake to get more cakes for a bake sale. This was delicious and great hit at the bake sale. They looked like glazed donuts when using the smaller bundt pans. They made 12 small bundts and took 25 minutes at 325 degrees. Thanks for the recipe.
