Hi, Sounds good! Please can you tell me what a bunt cake is as I'm in UK and not familiar with the term, also can the beer be substituted with anything else i.e coffee dissolved in water?

on

It is a special type of tube pan that was very popular here in America in the 70's. They are available on many websites.

I tried this recipe this morning on my family! They loved it! We tried it pretty much right out of the oven and it was oh - so - good! Thanks for sharing!

I'am going to try this Saturday. I have been looking for the perfect coffee cake recipe that is flavorfull and not dry. I will post the results.

Can you bake it in a regular round pan? IF so how long it would be the baking time? Does it taste like coffee or is just the name? THanks

on

Yes, plain flour is all purpose flour. As far as baking it in a regular pan, I have never tried it that way. The cake does not taste like coffee, it's called that because that is one of the ingredients.

OK, I know it's early, but your last comment, Geechigirl, you state it's named a coffee cake because it's one of the ingredients. I don't see coffee listed =/ ?

on

coffee is supposed to be in the ingredients, right? how much of it should i put in? i don't see it in your list.

Ok I had to make this cake. Yum!! I made a 1/2 batch more on the cinnamon and sugar and pecan mix. I baked the cake 9 minutes short of the 1 hour. I actually think I could of pulled it out of the oven even a few minutes faster. I asked my spouse as far as cakes go what would you rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 and he gave it a 7. So that is good. Very good cake!

Oh and for what it is worth I gave it a 10! As far as coffee cakes go this is top notch. It is moist it is not to sweet great texture fluffy not stiff like a pound cake at all. Not to fluffy either just perfect!!! Yum!!!
