- Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully loosen from the sides of the pan by sliding a knife around the edges. Invert cake onto a serving plate.
