Mary, it's worth experimenting with the way you prepare your Bundt pan, as that can have an impact on how light or dark the cake turns out. Try using melted shortening brushed into all the nooks and crannies of your pan, as shown here. It's also worth taking a minute to read this article on our blog about how baking with light or dark metal colored pans can change the final color of your cake. We hope these tips help you make the perfectly golden cake you're looking for! Kye@KAF
