    • Beat 5 to 6 minutes.
    • If batter seems too heavy add a bit more milk.
    • Fold batter into greased and floured bundt or tube pan and allow to stand, covered for 1-2 hours until you see at least a bit of expansion in the cake batter.
    • Bake in a 30 degree oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until done. Test for done-ness of this cake by inserting a toothpick into the cake (Dry toothpick = done cake).
    • Allow cake to cool at least 5-10 minutes before turning out onto a cake plate.
    • Once cooled, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want more calories.. do NOT ice.
