  • a simple glaze can be used to drizzle on the cake. Simply add 2 cups powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar), 2-3 Tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl and mix together. Use a whisk to be sure all ingredients are well blended. Use more milk if you want a thinner glaze. Drizzle over cake.

Notes

*prepared Bundt pan is a pan that has been well greased on all sides and around the tube in the middle.  I used pan spray.  Shortening or butter could also be used.  Be liberal with whatever you are using to grease the pan.
