I would characterize the cake as rich and moist, not light and fluffy... is that what you mean by dense?? Hi Karen,

I was a bit dissappointed with the result. In no way am I criticising your recipe but you may be able to see where I can improve next time. I found the cake, which I baked in a 9x13in tin, to be not very light and quite dense. I must also say that I had to convert the recipe to grams because our cup measurements are different to yours..the bain of my life!!!! I found that the amount of sugar was quite a lot to the amount of butter. I may not have creamed it long enough. Also I felt that the cocoa mixture was very thick even, though it mixed in okay to the batter. I will re-do my conversions and see if I get a better result. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, Karen Hi Andrea,

I've looked at these pans, and wondered if the cake would really come out of the pan okay. This looks fantastic, and I love the snow covered towers! This is magestic!

We took bought the castle bundt pan on sale at chefs. I busted it out last weekend with a sour cream chocolate chip coffee cake. The kids loved it. And they thought it hilarious that the sugar on top resembled snow. What a great deal that pan was. Looks very regal! We took bought the castle bundt pan on sale at chefs.
