• Bake the cake. Pour batter into pan. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for approximately 50-60 minutes. (If baking in a loaf pan, divide the batter between the two pans and bake for 40-45 minutes).

Allow cake to sit in the pan for 10 minutes before turning the cake out onto a wire rack to further cool. Allow to cool before glazing.
