I made this cake in a bundt pan instead of a loaf pan. It turned out beautifully and everyone loved it.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped dried cherries for the walnuts in the streusel topping. It was delicious!

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and the texture was dense and dry.

I found the instructions for this recipe to be a bit confusing. I think it could be improved with more step-by-step photos.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
