Hi Everyone- Hope you’re ready to get your plans for Thanksgiving rolling.  This cake makes a great addition to you Thanksgiving dessert and the best thing about it is that it needs to be made a few days before serving.  No last minute holiday rush to enjoy this yummy treat.

Pour into ungreased bundt pan and bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes.  Let cool and then remove from pan. wrap cake for up to 3 days with plastic wrap.

To make frosting, mix powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla and cream with electric mixer until smooth.  Gently spread frosting on the top of the cake.  I usually frost on the day I am serving because it is easier to wrap the unfrosted cake.
