Cook's Tips:

If using a microwave oven without a built-in turntable, rotate cake once after 6 minutes of cooking.

To bake cake in a conventional oven, preheat oven to 325°F. Bake 55-60 minutes or until wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Invert onto Stackable Cooling Rack; remove pan.

This cake is best when prepared and served the same day.
