Prepare a bundt pan with one of my very favorite, speedy, non-stick, baking sprays, Baker’s Joy.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for one hour. Oh, this is just such a lovely, crunchy-topped cake, that will be so happy, in your freezer, just waiting for company!
Slice and serve along with almost any fruit, sauce, whipped cream or ice cream…YUMMY GOOD!

Beautiful cake! I love the flour spray.
I could never make anything this good looking and save it in my freezer.It would have to be for company coming that day. Otherwise, it gets eaten.
This looks delicious! The whipped topping and fresh strawberries is exactly how I would like my slice to be topped.
Don’t you think that buttermilk makes the best cake? Yours looks delicious and I think we all should have those items in our fridge or pantry. Love Baker’s Joy too. Joni

I wanted to let you know that I made your flank steak pinwheels with soy sauce and the mango salsa. Hit, bit hit in my house. Hubby was wanting to take the leftovers to work today for lunch. Easy to make and tastes like a million bucks. Thanks for sharing those recipes.
