Sorry to come in so late elizacbrown, but yes, it should do fine in a bundt pan. My mother bakes it that way.

Question: You mention to take care removing the cake from the pan. Do you think it will do okay in a Bundt pan?

I made this and took it to a potluck. It was well received. Moist, crumbly, with all those wonderful apple chunks.

Evapaula, I'd generally use 375 grams All-Purpose flour for this cake and 375 grams regular granulated sugar.

I would really like to try this recipe, but I have some troubles with the conversion from cups to grams (I live in Germany) because the conversion ratio is dependent on the exact ingredients. So: What kind of sugar did you use? And what kind of flour? Thanks!

I made this for my family's Rosh Hashanah dinner and it was a HUGE hit. My dad liked it so much he hid the leftovers from the next night's guests.
