My thoughts:

This a variation of ane of my really favorite cakes, sour cream cake. My Aunt A, my grandpop's sister, e'er made this cake together with it is thus elementary nonetheless good! It is like to a pound cake only instead of a total pound of butter, yous own got a mix of butter together with sour cream which gives the cake a prissy tang. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lot of bundt cakes are flipped over thus the top, uncovered business office of the cake becomes the bottom thus the exterior is smooth. You tin sack practise this only thus yous fille the craggy, sweetness topping that forms on the cake. I perfect to piece of occupation out it as-is or sprinkle it amongst a chip of powdered saccharide rather than brand a glaze.

It is a cracking cake to accept to a potluck because it tin sack hold upwards made ahead of fourth dimension (although I personally make it is the day-of), travels well, together with doesn't require icing. Personally, I loathe bringing hot dishes to a potluck because of nutrient security concerns thus desserts are e'er preferred. And who doesn't honey a bundt cake? Plus it is super slow to spell into every bit many slices as are needed--perfect for when yous aren't certain just how many people coming.
