I'm really shocked at the bad ratings and glad I didn't read them before making the cake. It was a huge hit! I didn't find it dry at all. Should have used a little less water in the glaze as most of it ran off, but probably it was very tastey

This was the worst cake recipe I have ever tried. The mistake within the recipe are appalling. Never baked a bundt cake that required 70-75 mins. It lacked sufficient wet ingredient to be moist. Lacked salt of any kind to enhance the flavor. Over all Bad, Bad, Bad. Can I give this no Stars?????????

I have added a photo. First of all the ingredients and directions were confusing. It needs a different layout to follow it easier. However, as much time as it takes to make this recipe, it was quite disappointing. I followed the recipe as listed without changes. The cake was quite dry (even though I baked it 67 minutes instead of 75) dense, and really unedible. The filling was grainy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Don't worry about excluding the bourbon from the cake when making it for children; alcohol is burned off in recipes that raise the temperature this high for this long. All that is left is rich bourbon flavor. This is pretty tasty, but it's not my favorite bundt cake recipe.

This cake didn't have much flavor and was quite dry. It may be better if baking time was cut by about 10-15 minutes. I made this for a co-worker for his birthday and was very disappointed!

I disagree with the last review!!! And, so do my coworkers. I won THIRD PLACE in my company's dessert bake-off with this recipe last year. (The competition was tough.) Everyone loved it. It does take some work to make, but the flavor is good - I topped it off with a thick fudge glaze.

It was a good cake overall, but for some reason the cake itself is a bit dry except the center filling. Several people in my family have made it so it isn't just me. It takes a little longer than I had hoped but worth the wait.
