Bake: Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan (ring pan); I used a pan about 7 7/8 in. Mix all the ingredients for the glaze and pour it over the bundt, add the pearl sugar, dust with powdered sugar and add a few almonds, then bake at 356°F for about 40 minutes. Once baked, dust again with powdered sugar.
