THAT CAKE! (AKA) BROWN SUGAR PUDDING CAKE

That Cake! (Aka) Brown Sugar Pudding Cake image

This Cake is so good. This is the one I talk about on my page. It is quite simple to make but has the texture closer to a bread pudding. The family just loves this and have requested it on many occasions Including a Double layer Bundt cake for a wedding. NOTE: In all my recipes I use (I can't believe it's not butter)spread and it works great and taste great.
