This year I used a double batch of the cake recipe for my daughter's 2nd birthday to make the Taste Recipes Brown Bear Cake (https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/Brown-Bear-Cake), which was also a hit. I have made the cake 2 or 3 times since as a bundt cake and frosted it with the frosting recipe from the brown bear cake. The results are a very rich and delicious treat.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"11\/07\/2011 13:39","GUID":"bf2704595bfa4c78a69eb488b3b64119","MemberId":6182941,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"TrvlTrpr","SubmittedDate":"11\/07\/2011 13:39"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"03\/12\/2011 21:59","GUID":"0b324a0d87f74a15ae15483dea60cdd6","MemberId":2401339,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"angelasandoval","SubmittedDate":"03\/12\/2011 21:59"},{"Comment":"
Delicious! Chocolate and almond flavors complement each other in this cake. I made no changes in this recipe---wouldn't want to! My family thoroughly enjoys this dessert.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"03\/19\/2010 14:55","GUID":"B510FBF49BB9446584DAF9A51A5F5242","MemberId":944314,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"xicota","SubmittedDate":"03\/19\/2010 14:55"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"11\/05\/2008 12:09","GUID":"aa0353d890254f41a3d3a76d1469aca4","MemberId":1480061,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"GLORIAMOUNT","SubmittedDate":"11\/05\/2008 12:09"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
