Preheat the oven to 300° F. Lightly spray a bundt cake pan with cooking oil, then sprinkle it with flour. You can also use a 13" x 9" cake pan if you don't own a bundt cake pan.

Step 7

Allow the cake to cool for at least 30 minutes. Run a butter knife between the cake pan and the cake to help loosen it. Turn cake out onto a plate, cake stand or a cutting board.
