Place the batter in the bundt pan and spread evenly. Remove large air bubbles by tapping the pan on the counter several times.

I recommend baking it closer to the higher end to ensure it's fully baked, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. To avoid cake top browning, tent with foil.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes after baking. Before slicing, carefully invert the cake onto the wire rack, remove it from the pan, and let it cool completely.
