Notes
- Remember to use a regular-sized Bundt pan for this recipe if you double all the ingredients.
- This cake is fabulous the next day – just place the cake on a cookie sheet, cover with tinfoil, and warm it up in a 350° oven for 10-15 minutes.
Loved it! I added a little nutmeg and my teenage brothers devoured it!
We’re big fans of fresh nutmeg! Yummy idea!
Delicious! Took me a bit longer to make it cook all the way.
Thanks! Some ovens run a little slow and it takes a bit more time. Also, if you used the loaf pan, it may take an additional 5-10 minutes.
