Add eggs and beat for 2 minutes.
-
Grease bundt pan with butter flavor Crisco and sprinkle the inside of pan with granulated sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees. (If your pan has a dark coating on it…I preheat oven to 350 degrees, then turn down to 325 degrees when I put the cake in the oven. You may have to adjust cooking time.)
