93 Reviews of Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

From: Sherri35

On Oct 18, 2005

This is delicious! The outer part is crunchy and the inside is nice and moist. I think a little cinnamon and nutmeg would be a nice addition. I used my sand castle bundt pan which has many nooks and crannies, so to grease the pan I used Prepare a Baking Pan Prepare a Baking Pan by DoryJean54. It was the perfect way to grease the bundt so that this cake popped right out.

    This was very good!!! Cinnamon makes everything taste better so I added some in. I left out most of the nuts but i added instant coffee to the water to spice it up a bit. what a treat!!!

    DH took this cake to work with him, and about 2 hours later he called to say "this cake is the BOMB DOT COM!!" he had to hide a piece in his desk so i could try it. it literally took me about 15 minutes to prepare - i added a cup of milk chocolate toffee bits to the batter, and i dusted a mixture of powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg on top of the cooled cake. it was wonderful! i used the "pam with flour" cooking spray (specifically for baking), and i have to say that was the PRETTIEST cake i've ever made. i can't wait to make this again...thanks so much for posting! 12/20/06 --- wanted to add that i've experimented with this recipe using chocolate cake mix, crushed up butterfingers, all kinds of different stuff, and it's ALWAYS wonderful!

    Just made this for the crew at work and it was great. I used butterscotch pudding and dusted it with confectioners sugar, what a great recipe, I know I will come back to this one!

    Wonderful! I made mine in small bundt shaped muffin type pans (made 6 little bundt cakes at a time) so I could include in Christmas gift baskets. I adjusted the baking time accordingly of course. Everyone loved them! Adding the sugar to the greased bundt pan makes that outside part of the cake a little crunchy which is fabulous! I used a small box of sugar free pudding (it was all I had) and it tasted wonderful! I'm sure I will be making this again and again! Thanks so much for sharing! Delicious!

    I just made this cake for the first time. It is dense, rich, and just nutty/sweet enough. The only thing I may do differently is I gambled & used mix with pudding in it (plus adding pudding). Inside stays a little too moist for me. I probably should use non-pudding mix (hard to find sometimes) or if all I have is the pudding-included mix, I might try leaving out the additional pudding. But even with the extra pudding, the cake is delicious.

    This cake was excellent. I replaced the pecans with walnuts. It also stores very well.

    I have made this cake several times and keep forgetting to rate it (not that it needs another). The only thing I changed after the first cake was to cut the water to 1/3 cup and added 2/3 cup sour cream..what a velvet texture it has. Moist and delicious!!!

    Oh my gosh!!! This is sooooo good! I used cinnamon & sugar to coat the pan rather than plain sugar. Otherwise, followed it exactly. I don't normally make things that start with mixes, but am really glad I did. Make it, you will love it!!!

    Great recipe; I've made this several times, and I add a teaspoon of cinnimon to the batter as others have suggested. I also kick it up a notch by sprinkling the pan with a sugar and cinnimon mixture (equal parts of each), and OMG what a difference that makes! I sometimes top it off with a caramel glaze; it's great with or without. Sometimes no pecans; great with or without.
