This bundt cake recipe is from a Nitty Gritty book; Cakes & Pies, 1978. It is double sided one side is cakes, turn it over and pies are on the other side.This recipe is from the bundt cake chapter. I have seen a lot of bundt cake pans in stores lately. I think they are having a comeback. Another unusual thing about this book is the background of the cake section. The pages are a pale pink with cake texture. It looks like they photographed a slice of strawberry angel food cake and used it as the background. The titles of the recipes are in a brighter pink.
