Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes (for a 9x13 pan) or 45-50 minutes (for a bundt pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with cream cheese frosting for extra indulgence.
Optional Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
Spread over the cooled cake.
Tips:
Moisture Boost: For extra moisture, add 1/4 cup of applesauce if the batter feels thick.
Spice It Up: Adjust spices to your liking or add a pinch of allspice for more depth.
Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
