    Bake at 350 dF for one hour (being sure you do not open oven door to look at cake until one hour has gone by).
  • Step 8
    Test cake with a toothpick in center for doneness (toothpick should come out clean).

    When cake is done..cool on wire rack for a bit then turn out onto cake plate.

    *NOTE: If you are using sugar in the cake you will probably want to use regular Jam for your glaze instead of sugar-free. This is your choice. I also use a Jam called Fifty-50 sometimes. OR you can just dust with powdered sugar if you prefer it that way...however you make it, Enjoy!!!
