The batter is super thick, almost like a muffin batter, and the cake does turn out very, very heavy. When baked, it completely fills the bundt pan. I wouldn't describe it as a light cake at all, but it should be soft, moist, and dense. I hope yours turned out!

Yours looks light with a soft outside crumb.

Some quick trouble-shooting ideas:<br />--1can evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed milk<br /><br />Ok, that's actually the only one I can think of. I'll check my original recipe to make sure it's accurate.

What am I dooing wrong, when I try to mix in the berries the dough is so thick that it is near impossible to fold in the fresh berries. I threw the first one way w/o tasting as the texture was so dense and heavy. This attempt now does not look any better, but here's hoping the oven has magic powers.
