## Equipment

- hand mixer

- spatula

## Tips

- Cool the cake for at least 20 minutes before flipping out of the Bundt pan.
- If your cake is having issues coming out, try running a small knife around the edges to help release the cake.
- The cake tastes BEST after it’s cooled COMPLETELY, about 4-6 hours after coming out of the oven. When it’s warm, it just doesn’t have the same flavor or texture. It’s worth waiting!
