Glad you all enjoyed it! BTW, if you have any leftovers that you're trying to keep yourself from eating, slice it up and freeze it...it freezes well!!

just made this with my kids. Really easy and delicious, but because it is so light and fluffy, half of it stuck to the bundt pan. I thought I had overgreased it! Oh well... we're making our way through the stuck half a bit too quickly!!

Thanks for posting it!

Oh, btw, I should have listened to you and put less sugar. It's very sweet.

Hmm, that's strange...never happened to me...did you do anything else different? Maybe try the spray with flour? Actually, come to think of it, I kind of stopped using my bundt pan for most recipes b/c I had too many "sticky" situations, I use a tube pan instead and the cakes always seem to pop out much easier.

Thanx for a great recipe! Easy to make. Yummy aroma! It came out of a disposable tube pan easily & my husband gave it rave reviews. Moist, but not too heavy.

Amazing cake! Didn't not stick, came out perfectly clean. Try letting it cool longer, and try and go down the sides with a spatula...

OK you have a message from my DH and I quote:

"Ladies you are dangerous. Posting such a recipie during the nine days, having my beloved wife make this and then having me eat the whole thing on a thursday nite....it's not even Shabbos!! How could you do this to me during the NINE DAYS, letting me enjoy myself so much, even if it wasn't deliberate.

So, would you please next time during the nine days post something like a garlic cake or a hot chili cake which I won't enjoy, which will make me suffer during the nine days like I should, and not lick my lips for more of this delicious cake."

End of message from DH.
Garlic cake recipies anyone?
I'm off to the kitchen....to make another cake for shabbos...I can't believe that he (and I) ate the whole thing....gevalt...the kids aren't even home right now...

Did that and have never had a problem with my bundt pan, yet. It doesn't matter... we loved the cake anyway!! I actually hid it so we wouldn't consume the whole thing today.

I made it today. I haven't tasted it yet but it came out of the pan perfectly. I used hazelnut flavored coffee granules for the glaze. I used the 1 2/3 cups sugar suggested so I hope it's not too sweet. I used brewed coffee (yum) in the recipe. I allowed it to cool upside down before sliding a knife along the pan's sides and easing it out. I also pricked the cake with a fork around the top before pouring the glaze, to allow the glaze to seep through.

So I made another batch today and it really was too sweet yesterday so I did the following. I used only 2/3 cup of sugar, but for the glaze I used a lot more boiling water, 300 grams powdered sugar and poured it all over the bundt cake in the bundt pan, not turning it upside down as it's easier to store this way. I took part of the batter in a separate pan without glaze and made a small cake to bring my mother for shabbos to the hospital, she was thrilled, their cake there is lousy.

Haha! Hid it from DH, that's one thing. Second is that I saved it for shabbos but maybe my mother took a piece of hers already, I'm heading back there before shabbos and will hear from her if it's edible, but it will be too late to post, l'll let you all know tomorrow night.

BTW I like my cakes not sweet but the frosting or toppings sweet. That way if it is too sweet, I just push off the topping and eat the cake.

I found the texture of the cake to be wonderful, but it tastes too strongly of coffee for my taste. The glaze too. I used 1.5 c. sugar and it was just sweet enough. Next time, I would cut down the coffee by one tablespoon in the cake and one teaspoon in the glaze.

So my mother ate some of the cake already and called me to tell me it is terrific, even without the glaze, didn't hurt it to cut down the sugar by half.

You can add me to list of people who made this for shabbes.
I wouldnt let dh eat it yet though, so no idea how it came out, but I am risking bringing some over to where we're invited tomorrow.

You are all making my mouth water. I put the cake in a covered cake holder so as not to be tempted. The glaze (hazelnut/coffee) is pretty darned good though....

add me to your list of admirers Smile

I also made some variations: cut out some sugar, substituted apple sauce for 1/2 the oil, and did 1 cup of whole wheat flour. oh, and I dont go for glazes much, so I skipped that too.
came out great, and I'm excited to serve it to our guests tonite Smile
