This recipe is so delicious and really easy to make. I also made it in a bundt pan, because I think the shape is prettier and it works great. My friends are always asking me to make it!

vanilla paste comes from the vanilla bean, just cut it open and scrap the vanilla bean seeds or you can buy the paste online or at gourmet speciality stores

I too have a 10-inch tube pan....not sure how anyone wouldn't know what that was and be that upset about it. I have a question about the vanilla paste. Can anyone tell me where that can be found. I have never heard about it and never seen it but don't worry, I am not upset and will still try this recipe. :o)
