Or is it that licor is always a good idea for a cake, jaja. <br />Gorgeous cake my friend! A foolproof non-stick method: spray the pan (with those awful, so-wrong-for-the-planet, vegetable sprays) and then sprinkle with dry fine breadcrumbs. A tip from Maida Heatter, works every single time!

And with a bundt pan, you really need to get into all the nooks and crannies, otherwise you are sunk! I did moisten the chips with a little Cointreau, and then flour them so they wouldn't sink. I do this with berries in cakes, as well. It really helps suspend them in the batter. I hope your bundt pan comes out of the cupboard soon! :)Cocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627872741055523948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-49706577915474592342014-09-03T04:45:55.010-04:002014-09-03T04:45:55.010-04:00I need more info on the pan prepping (greasing and...I need more info on the pan prepping (greasing and flouring?) and on what you did with the chips... is that flour to avoid them sinking?
