Instructions

In a 10″ Dutch oven, spray with cooking spray.
Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
In a separate large bowl combine until mixed all wet ingredients.
Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Top with cream cheese frosting

Notes

Bring eggs and milk to room temperature so the batter mixes smoothly and the cake bakes evenly.
Avoid overmixing the batter when combining wet and dry ingredients to keep the cake light and tender.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
