My German friends 3rd generation hand me down recipe... It's been a great hit at potluck & dinner party's. Note: The sugar/cinnamon sprinkle added to the prep of the bundt pan adds a wonderful crunchy texture to the outside of the cake.

This is a very good cake, made one the other day then had to make one for my neighbor as they had a fit over it. Only thing different I did was drop the vanilla an use almond flavoring instead. 5 forks to ya
