I expected this to be super sweet, but it wasn't. It did take some time to prepare, but worth the trouble. I used a bundt pan (circular) and I liked the way it came out. Be sure to spray some oil in the pan to make it slide out easier. I think this could have used a little more cinnamon and next time I might use pureed soft tofu instead of sour cream. The walnuts definitely added to the flavor. The taste gets better with every bite and I can't wait to have it tomorrow with some coffee!
