I prepared to cakes with this quantity: a bunt cake of about 9 inches (for give away) and a smaller rectangular one for us. After 40 minutes I reduced the heat (air forced oven) from 350°F to about 300°F to prevent surface to turn to dark. The cake was fantastic: juicy and at the same time the upper surface crunchy! A real keeper!
