- Mix by hand for 2 or 3 minutes. The batter will not be smooth.
- Pour batter into a well greased bundt pan, or sprayed with non stick cooking spray. (I use my pound cake pan).
- Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Check doneness by inserting a tooth pick in the top of cake, if the tooth pick comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Cool, remove from pan.

- Fold in confectioner's sugar to make a soft, drippy glaze.
