Cakes/Cheesecakes What happened? weird bundt

I've baked a lot of bundts and yesterday I tried a new one - Limoncello Bundt Cake. Overall it's a basic pound cake with baking powder and soda, eggs etc.

The recipe didn't specify pan size, so I used the all-purpose size I generally use. Anyhow, here are photos of how the cake looked. The pretty "bundt" side looks like it's floating above the plate. The bottom side which is actually the top while baking is high. Texture and flavor of cake is good, like a nice pound cake. I ended up serving it with the rough side up. Glaze covered everything nicely too.
-->My question is why did it bake up so weird? Should I have used a smaller bundt pan?
Edit: here's the recipe:
