Tips:

To ensure your cake turns out moist and flavorful, use high-quality ingredients.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan.
To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Add a cup of chopped pecans to the batter for a crunchy texture.
Garnish the cake with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries before serving.
