I think I heard that something like a dozen eggs were sacrificed to create this monster. It has a nutmeg flavor with a citrus aftertaste and leaves a buttery feeling on your tongue and lips. There are michigan transparent apples and dried cherries in it. I saw some almonds go in too but they seemed to have disappeared into this crazy dense cake. The density of this cake makes it feel borderline too dry, but overall it is really nice.

It is a bundt cake with chocolate in it. You slice the cake like a layer cake and put the frosting in the middle. As one taster said of this cake: “Finally some fucking frosting!”. The All Cakes Considered has been very light on the frosting thus far. This cake was delicious. It was like a coffee cake with the coffee built in. The cake itself didn’t have a ton of flavor in it, but maybe it was because the coffee frosting overpowered it.
A solid 4/5, I’d say.
