- Comments
- This is a wonderful recipe given to me by a former colleague of my Husband's. The office personnel used to beg her to bring it to any functions they had.
Editors note: I don't invert my cakes--I use a 10 to 12 inch springform pan or more often, a you got your wine. Yeah, list of mobile. Who is it? It s good it s fairly light. He said it was on his favorites right now. Yeah good to the kitties. Are fed. Really appreciate it. Well I m sure Gary did. She got hers. First Bundt pan instead--I think the puffy tops look nicer! I also glaze it while it's still in the pan so the glaze doesn't run all over.
If you use a Bundt pan let the cake cool after pouring on the glaze and then invert on a serving plate.
You can also use 2 4 inch springform pans to make gift-sized cakes.
