Here is the finished cake! It is a marble cake smothered in a thick vanilla glaze with cherry piping details. The marble cake batter was enriched with yogurt, which I thought would make it extra-moist, and although it certainly wasn't dry, it wasn't outstandingly moist either. Oh well, it is still a pretty good cake with no unneccesary steps, or separating eggs or anything. Just a straight-forward cake batter baked in a bundt pan. Bundt cakes eliminate the tough work of filling and stacking two round cakes, but bundt cakes are a bit more troublesome to frost. I prefer to use a glaze on bundt cakes, and just let it slip down the sides of the cake. Whatever you do, make sure you grease and flour the bundt pan very well (since bundt pans are impossible to line), otherwise you will be stuck with a broken cake!

Nice! If you are looking for a super-moist cake, definitely try a chocolate-chip zucchini cake. The zucchini makes it super moist, and the young ones don't even know its there! Instead of a frosting or glaze, a nice sprinkle of melted in chocolate chips. I am normally not a huge fan of cakes, but this cake everyone loves for every occasion! Keep up your baking! You definitely have a future with it.
Every year at the end of the summer, my mother makes a delicious chocolate chocolate chip zucchini loaf. She used to tell my brothers and I that the zucchini was green coconut so we would eat it. We eventually figured out the difference, but it was so tasty anyway, it didn't bother us. Mom also makes pumpkin and carrot muffins that are super-moist, and healthy too!
