Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes.

  • Let the cake cool completely then sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

The cake batter will be thick. Make sure you grease and flour your bundt pan really well.
I used a 12 cup bundt pan.
Oven times vary so begin checking the cake at the 50 minutes mark. It takes my oven 1:15 minutes. The cake is done when tester comes out with very few crumbs and the top of the cake looks dry. If there are still some wet spots on the top of the cake the cake needs a bit more time to cook.
Cool the cake completely before dusting with powdered sugar or slicing.
Store at room temperature up to three days.
