Can this recipe be doubled and baked in a Bundt pan?

Hi Rose,
Because this is a large cake to begin with (9 x 13″ pan) I haven’t ever doubled it. And I haven’t tried baking it in a bundt pan either. The crumb isn’t as fine as other coffee cakes that I have baked in a bundt pan so it may not come out of the pan super clean.
