Notes
NOTE: You will need your largest bundt pan to make this recipe. You may want to put a cookie sheet under the rack with the bundt pan to catch drips.
NOTE: I cannot overemphasize enough the need to bake this cake until it is thoroughly done. Some ovens may take as long as 2 hours. Until the knife inserted in center comes out totally clean, the cake is not done. It will come out in clumps unless it is cooked completely. (This cake has a LOT of batter; it will take longer to bake).
