    I would love to try this cake. I’m assuming if I keep an eye on the time I can make it in a loaf pan instead of a bundt pan.

    Made it your way last week and it was awesome. This week I’ve made it using canned peaches and another one with Mandarin oranges and pineapple. They both turned out great. In 40 years of baking I’ve never found such a great versatile recipe. Thank you.

        The bunt cake was awesome. I couldn’t find the nutritional information for it. I’m stage 4 kidney disease. I have to be very careful what I eat. If you could send me the information I would greatly appreciate it.
        Sincerely, Elizabeth Madsen

    I substituted four cups of very ripe peeled Bartlett pears for the canned pears and syrup because I was trying to use up the last of some fresh pears my friend gave me from her pear orchard. This turned out amazing! No other liquid added or changes to the recipe. So moist and delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
