IngredientsPreheat the oven to 180°C.
Grease a 6-hole bundt cake pan or a 23 cm one.
Beat the butter and sugar until creamy.

Recipe worked out well. Baked in a 22cm bundt cake pan and baked for 50 minutes at 180 degrees.
Also used 180g of sugar instead of 200g and it was sweet enough for my taste.
