Granny used to use a brown paper bag completely saturated in Crisco to line the old bundt pan she cooked this cake in every Christmas. A well-greased & floured bundt pan works too.
Bake the cake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes, then turn down to 275 degrees for 1-2 hours. |

Notes: My Granny made this cake every year right before Christmas. My mom (Betty) still makes this cake from time to time, usually at Christmas. She has been known to ship one of these monster cakes to "the sisters" who live out town, we all know who they are. Note to those sisters: I think it's possible that mama tore her rotator cuff hauling these 20 pound cakes to the post office.
