Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Generously grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan to prevent sticking.

  4. Add the eggs, shortening, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  5. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl constantly to incorporate all ingredients.
  6. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the batter is smooth and fluffy.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
  10. Carefully invert the pan to remove the cake onto the wire rack.
  11. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
  12. Drizzle with chocolate glaze if desired.
