Instructions
-
Add all ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order listed.
-
Select the Cake or Quick Bread setting (depending on your machine-my cake setting takes 2 hours). If your bread machine does not have a cake cycle, use the Bake Only function for about 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the pan from the machine and let the cake cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan.
-
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy with fresh strawberries, fresh peaches, whipped cream, etc for a real treat!
