If you haven’t tried this yet, you’ve been missing out BIG TIME! I am in love with this Preacher Cake! It’s so easy to make you won’t even believe it, and every single time it comes out looking and tasting incredible.
I do believe my pastor must have had three pieces of it, so it’s no wonder this is called Preacher Cake! This cake will be on my family’s dessert menu for years to come. In fact, it’s so delicious that I just might have it for dinner on its own one day! Give it a try and you’ll know what I’m talking about – it’s a cake that will never disappoint!

I make a cake like this a lot. It has no fat other than the eggs. Very good.
Picture looks like a portion from a baking pan not muffin pan. I would like to bake in a 9×11 or 8 or 9 inch pan for a family of 6 with seconds. How long should it bake at 350′ ? Should I still chill before baking?
