Candy's Notes:

This is a nice moist cake good anytime of the year but particularly nice for the holidays.

(See Candy's Original Version of Recipe)

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

This cake has the smell of fall and it is just so beautiful. It makes me want cooler weather! It was a snap to prepare and I would be proud to include it on my holiday table. (Next time I might make a glaze with powdered sugar and milk... yum!)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds; beat on medium for 4 minutes.

Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350'F for 50-55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with powdered sugar and or serve with whipped cream if desired.

I agree! How did you do the top, or is that the design in your bundt pan? Whatever, it looks amazingly Christmasy!

Awww, thanks Donna. Wish I could send you a slice.

Bonnie, I took one of those little paper doilies that you can buy at the $ stores and placed it on top of the cake. Then I sifted powdered sugar over it. Removed the doily and voila! Lacey design.

Well, you are a clever lady, aren't you? I didn't know about that trick, but I will remember it! Thanks, Candy! (still loving your rice! LOL!)

Bonnie, seems I read about "using a paper doily" trick quite a while ago but don't remember where. It was to be used on a flat pan cake but I figured why not try it on a bundt and see what happens. Well that's what happened. I was pleased with the appearance. Glad you liked it too.

Well, I couldn't figure out how that worked with just the design on the bundt pan with the powdered sugar, because it would fall through the "holes"......you are quite clever to think of that! I have a lot of things going around in my head right now.....this is a useful tip! Thanks!
