A simple trick for preparing a bundt pan for baking is to mix equal parts melted butter, shortening and vegetable oil in a jar. Spread liberally on the pan. Sprinkle liberally with all-purpose flour. Tilt the pan while tapping the sides to spread the flour over all crevices and sides of the pan. 

Got Leftovers?

To store, wrap slightly warm cake in plastic wrap. This will help retain moisture in the cake and prevent the outside from drying out and getting a crust. Store cake at room temperature up to 3 days
