We love the dense crumb of this Viennese-style cake. Ice cream, chocolate sauce, or berries are all good accompaniments, but whipped cream and jam is our favorite. Prep and Cook Time: 2 hours

Pour batter into bundt pan. Bake until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 75 to 90 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack to cool completely.
