Here is my mother's recipe for a bundt cake. She names it Neil's Bundt cake since my brother Neil always asks her to make it when he visits and when she goes to visit him. As a child it was the only thing he ever asked her to make. It really is a very good cake. I think the original recipe called for milk and butter but she always used orange juice and margarine so it would be pareve.
