To make the cake

  • Add in the flour mixture and stir just until the flour has been incorporated.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out.
  • Place the pan into the oven to bake for 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with slightly moist crumbs.
  • Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place onto a cooling rack or hot pad to cool.
  • While the cake is cooling, make the glaze.

GLAZE

  • Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
  • Beat together on high speed for 2-3 minutes or until a smooth glaze has formed.
  • Once the cake has cooled, turn the pan over onto a cake stand or serving plate.
  • Gently tap the bundt pan to aid in releasing the cake.
  • Pull the bundt pan up off of the cake.
  • Let the cake finish cooling completely.
  • Spoon the glaze onto the cake and let it run down the sides of the cake.
  • Slice and serve & ENJOY!
