I tried this today; recipe didn't mention what pan to use, so I used a Bundt pan..........cake didn't get done ! I'd advise a 13X9" pan.

Well, I never baked my whole life, until just a few months ago.........Warden tells me that the cake got done just fine, it's just that it's very moist, which made me think it wasn't;
that and the fact that I couldn't get it out of the freakin' pan in one piece !!

try a 9X13 like you said. grease the bottom of pan, place a sheet of parchment paper in bottom of pan and grease the paper (and dust with flour?) this may help.
