I used to make this cake years ago - with a glaze of powdered sugar & sherry. I know for a fact it is fabulous. In fact - after seeing it here today I'm going to make it again this weekend.

What a wonderfully unusual cake. I adored it, DH however was not excited about it, he kept telling me he thought it tasted burnt. I did not have this problem at all and suspect he didn't care for the cocoa-cinnamon mixture. I will try it again without it and tell him he is eating poundcake! I also used sherry instead of milk in the glaze. A recipe I feel tastes as wonderful as it looks!

Steingrim asked me to make this for him again today, so I did. The aroma in the house is wonderful!! I took Chris' suggestion and made the drizzle frosting with sherry, too, and it worked quite well. I must say, there's a reason this was my favorite cake when I was growing up. It is SO darn good!!

This is an excellent cake. It is delicious and beautiful too. When sliced, you can see the very lovely ripples of cinnamon-cocoa sugar swirling through the cake. I ate two slices as soon as it cooled enough to handle and everyone in my family loved it as much as I did.

I loved this recipe. I tried it because I had a bottle of cream sherry that I had bought for another recipe. The only change I made was to leave out the cocoa powder after reading the other reviews about burning. I did have to cook it for about 15 to 20 minutes longer than the recipe called for (probably because of the silicon bundt pan I used, but without the cocoa, it did not burn at all, and we did not even miss the cocoa. Everyone raved about the cake.

This is a wonderful cake, I learned how to make it when I was cooking with mom as a teenager. It sounds so good, I'm going to make it in the morning for the family picnic, and use Sheery instead of the milk for the frosting. Yum, Yum.. Cxstitcher

This is my favorite cake that I ask my wife to make for me!
