    My grandmother made bundt cakes monthly, always looked forward to them. Haven't had one in about 25 or so years.

    My mom made one once afterwards...lets just say the vacuum cleaner of a dog I had at the time didn't want it either.

    Yeah, my mother made that type of marble cake! We Germans used to have a saying: Hopefully we will have some type of torte for Sunday Coffee and Cake, dry cakes were frowned on....marble kuchen and such. My fav. is fresh raspberry torte! 161001e5f2fdb91a203d606f39a5d103.jpg

    Oh yeah, indeed we do. Mom used to make one most scrumptious, but like Mat (above) I haven't had one in a long, long time.

    That's an awesome OP-addition, Joe LeMay (congrats on adding that sweet ol' example to your hoard)

    => I also have a very cool example of that type (wanna see?)
