This is a wonderful cake, and a wonderful recipe.
I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin where Kohl's -- which was a grocery store, not an everything store -- sold a bundt-style Gesundheit cake. I remember it in both chocolate and vanilla flavors, with no glaze, but a sprinkling of crunch sugar on the top. Does anyone else remember this or have a recipe for anything like it? Thank you!
