  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  8. Bake for 75 to 85 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to set before slicing.
