Comments:
The texture is thick and dense in the BEST possible way. Spice cake has a WOW factor. Yellow and white don’t fair quite as well, but Devil’s food cake is another classic choice. The HealthyU team sampled pumpkin spice cakes made in a mini Bundt pan, which gave the cakes an old-fashioned donut appearance – this was a big hit! -- Hope this becomes a classic from your kitchen!
