This cake was very moist and I agree with Jokerette that it does also look very nice. I didn't have any pecans so I did use chopped walnuts instead. I was getting a little nervous when I was putting it in the bundt pan because it was very thick and I thought it was going to be dry....It was WONDERFUL !! You can tell it was good because I made it this morning and it's already half gone! -
I've made this recipe for years and it's great as written. But now that we're older, I look for ways to reduce fat. So I tried it with low fat Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. It is excellent! I can highly recommend this one! Thanks for sharing :) -
Beautiful and delicious. I reduced the sugar to 2/3 cup and may cut it down even more next time. Also, I used half cream cheese since I didn't have enough sour cream, and put sliced almonds in the filling. This was a hit at breakfast this morning! -
Thumbs up with my family! The batter was very thick and I was concerned, but came out great. Very pretty with the icing. -
Outstanding! I make this for Easter and Christmas morning. Delicious. I am vegan so I use margarine and Tofutti sour cream and the result is perfect.
