- Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition.
- Pour into the prepared Bundt pan. Tap it on the counter to remove any big bubbles.
- Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes
This cake is fine without the glaze, but it looks very nice and it protects it to a certain extent.
